  1. How did they get a horse that can’t stand up on his hind legs to get on a trailer or ambulance without torturing him further? Or, did they euthanize him first and then “transport” him off the track?
    The video shows SAN LORENZO LEGACY in a sitting position after crossing the finish line. Any person with any decency would stop participating in this carnage.
