In the 8th at Oaklawn yesterday, Anthonian “fell going into the far turn” and was subsequently euthanized. Dead, at four. Complicit in the kill: breeder Sally Thomas, owner Randy Patterson, trainer Randy Morse, jockey Johan Rosado, and anyone who supports this vile industry in any way (betting, attending, watching, working in, etc.).
Coincidence, or not, the entire Fox Sports Day at the Races broadcast has not been made available on YouTube as it usually is. No idea then what the commentators said, if anything.
Animal Cruelty is the “lowest common denominator” of exploiting horses for racing and gambling. Everyone involved in the direct abuse of horses should be arrested for Animal Cruelty.
Randy Morse and Randy Patterson are directly responsible for the death of ANTHONIAN and should be charged with Animal Cruelty without a doubt.
Replay race 8 is altered for the incident moment. Horse #2 The Warden is now running riderless in the race. Whether he had to jump over Antonian or other remains to be seen. Sad sad sad always
