This happened to the 4-year-old mare Lutie Mo at Delta Downs Thursday. I won’t know for sure until FOIAs, but…. On another note, during the entire six-minute-plus video replay on the track’s website, the announcer never said a word about the fall. Not a word.
The video through 50 seconds is unedited, so you can hear the callous announcer pretending it never occurred (fall is at :25 mark)…
Also, in the weekly harness rulings, Nick Royce Roland was fined $300 for “kicking a horse” at Cal Expo Jan 7. This fine is just $200 more than Ronnie Wrenn received for “talking on the race track” in PA three days later. Yes, priorities.
That’s weird how the announcer mentioned LUTIE MO and shortly afterwards she broke down. The announcer never mentions her name again. It seemed convenient for him to not mention the carnage.
It’s all about calling the race regarding the horses’ order of finish. It’s all about the money.
The horses are gambling chips. If they don’t finish the race, they somehow become irrelevant to this gambling racket.
Horseracing is absolutely sickening cruelty to horses.
