Through a FOIA request to the Montana Board of Racing, I have confirmed the following kill there last year. Note: Montana had only 12 days of racing in 2025.
Ensign of Hope, Jul 13, Great Falls R
“[Multiple] fractures, euthanized after radiographs on backside.”
Ensign was three years old; ’twas her third time under the whip.
This is absolutely deplorable mistreatment of a horse!
