Notes: Horses who are injured so badly they require an ambulance to get off the track more often than not end up dead, as borne out by our subsequent FOIA reporting. “Bled”: indicates pulmonary hemorrhage. “DNF”: unable to finish the race. (For any new confirmed kills during the week, please see our running annual list.)
Laurel Park on December 21..race 5 horse #1 Atlantic Cat came in 2nd after pretty much running first all around the oval. They showed the gallop out but not the collapse. So he won some cash for the connections. I am unable to find any info whether he’s back at his barn.
RIP
I should have said there were 10 horses running in Race #1. There were 11 horses entered and one was scratched. The horses finishing in 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th place earned $400 each. Without subsidies, this would be a much different picture.
CALYPSO MOON, a filly born in 2023, finished Fifth in Race #1 out of ten horses entered. The chart on Equibase says it was 80°F at Gulfstream Park, December 20, 2025.
Her breeder and owner is a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine. She earned $700 in this race.
