The following horses were scratched by the regulatory vet (i.e., their exploiters had every intention of racing them) at Churchill over just 5 days (Jun 25-29) for being “unsound”:

Event Detail
And these horses were scratched by private vets for either “illness” or “injury”:
Golden Glider
Global Legend
Golden Plate
El Rey Dorado
Executive Action
Cue the Duckboats
Bourbon Flight
Shogun
Marmalade Skye
Up to No Good
Hissyfitter
High Fashion Kate
And the “claims” – that would be sales – of the following were voided when the horses in question finished their races physically compromised in one way or another:
Kensington Cove
Gold Search
And finally, this from the stewards:
“Itsinmyblood finished 5th and suffered a post-race heatstroke; placed on Vet List.” (The chart said nothing of this.)
This, too, is horseracing.
RIP
The horses are not safe in this inhumane industry.
