Operation Varsity, a “pulled up, escorted off in equine ambulance” in the 10th at Delaware Jun 14, is dead – euthanized, according to the Delaware Racing Commission. He was three years old, and this was his very first race.

I am on list. Shut it down we concerned people do not know of any plans to change or make things better
It is always saddening when a horse dies. I know you focus on racing but are you aware of the Blood Farms that are in the US (3) and the rest of the world? They keep horses in small paddocks and take liters of blood from them over and over again that is used for medicines. Here in the US it is kept pretty quiet. There are many YouTube Videos about it. It is a practice that have been ongoing for decades. The horse care is not good as you will see for yourself if you watch the YouTube videos. Peace.
I’d like to know what the die-hard horse abusing thugs did to this 3-year-old. The usual age for the daily routine mistreatment of colts and fillies being started under saddle and a whip-wielding rider is 18 months and racing them for the first time at supposedly two years of age; so what was different in this case?
Did they inflict injuries on this doomed colt requiring a lay up so he could heal up to a point enough to where they felt they could move forward on their sadistic daily routine mistreatment of this young horse at the age of three years?
I don’t think it’s a stretch to assume that this colt had degenerative joint disease and ulcers, thanks but no thanks, thanks to this subculture of torturing horses and calling themselves horsemen and horsewomen.
Brings new meaning to the phrase ‘one and done’. Absolutely horrific, inexcusable, and maddening.
