This for Uncorrelated at Aqueduct yesterday, according to the Gaming Commission: “Horse experienced a cardiac event [and] collapsed prior to the finish line – died on the track.” At just four years of age, Uncorrelated was still an adolescent – “cardiac event.”
Out on the other coast, the chart for the 2nd at Pleasanton yesterday says Table for Ten “lost action and fell in upper stretch and was transported off the track via ambulance.” I have confirmed through a trusted source that the 8-year-old is indeed dead.
This is horseracing.
Abusers are cowards.
Wanda we have been had by crooked & lying vets when one of our horses he knew was going to die. Our credit card company called us & informed us what the balance had reached & advised us to cut him off! Ironically he would not perform vet work for any racing people! The bill had reached $10,000!!! Fortunately my uncle helped us pay the bill with a no interest loan for a period of 2 years. That vet could not out crook the racing people. Karma bit him hard! He lost his very nicely appointed vet hospital due to his crooked reputation getting around for what he did to my mother & I . Today if you go past his old hospital location there`s nothing there! Bldg., trees, isolation bldg. all is gone as if it never existed. He is now strictly a mobile vet operating out of tiny business office center. Sadly there`s many crooked people in the equine industry. It has taken 10 years for us to finally find a recent vet graduate of our local university for our farms needs. Her farrier friend & her recently trimmed one of our 20 year old geldings. They both worked together well trimming Surprise Account`s hoofs.
The racetrack veterinarians are to their profession what Josef mengele was to his. Google that monster!
It’s sickening that anybody would want to “milk it for all it’s worth” when there are suffering animals involved.
Automobile mechanics are “famous” for being rip-off artists and I believe there are who-knows-how-many veterinarians that string people along to get as much money as they can out of a sick and dying cat, dog or horse.
To deliberately and knowingly drug a horse and then run them to death is evil. But the evil doesn’t stop there. It isn’t just the veterinarians doing the scamming. I wouldn’t say all veterinarians are scam-artists. But to have the knowledge and the skills to treat animals in to keep them healthy and well and then deliberately do things that cause harm, prolonged suffering and death, and for more-money-more-money-more-money, is diabolical.
Replay at Aqueduct race 9 horse #10. He was in front most of the way around the track. He just started losing ground and then off camera. There was no bobbling so when it happened was fast. Another beautiful horse ruined.
