The CHRB says that Coulair died at Santa Anita yesterday. While there are currently no details (“pending”), I can tell you Coulair had a “timed workout” at that same track four days prior. He was three years old.
The NYS Gaming Commission reports this “training incident” for Shadow at Belmont Thursday: “Horse experienced an idiopathic seizure, became loose on the track, then exited and knocked down a NYRA peace officer. Horse fell to the ground and was vanned to barn for evaluation.” The 2-year-old Shadow is (was?) being prepped for her debut.
This is horseracing.
This abuse has to be stopped. These people aren’t good advocates for these beautiful horses. The horses haven’t done anything wrong. .
Poor girl! RIP
Tappan Street(Brad Cox) out of Kentucky Derby with condular fracture this morning training. Never ends does it?
Another vomit-worthy story from the racing industry is Brad Cox saying that a condylar fracture in the right front leg of his Kentucky Derby contender is nothing major. Can someone break Brad Cox’s leg and call it “nothing major”? I don’t think so. It’s nothing surgery won’t fix, he says.
Horses produced by the racing industry for the racing industry are doomed to a life/existence of routine mistreatment by the die-hard horse-killing monsters in this industry. They will always whitewash the cruelties to the horses as “normal”. If you don’t accept their lies as truth, they will say you just don’t know anything about horses. All they have is lies, lies, lies and more lies.
