Huyana “fell, DNF” at Willowdale
Fashion Line “fell, DNF” at Willowdale
Eryx “fell, DNF” at Willowdale
The Reds “taken off in equine ambulance” at Churchill
“Vanned Off”: Horse required equine ambulance to get off the track; while not all end up dead, most do, as borne out by our subsequent reporting. “Bled”: pulmonary hemorrhage.
IF the bad steps, van offs, sudden deaths, found dead in stall, and so on in Florida were being reported, how much longer would this list be?!
Horseracing is cruel and deadly all day, every day and in every state that has horseracing.
