This for Sassetti at Belmont Wednesday, in the words of the Gaming Commission: “found non-weight bearing in stall after galloping – deficits in her RH, euthanized.”
“Deficits.” Sassetti was three years old.
Also, Exhalting, as relayed in our weekly report, was “vanned off” last Saturday at Los Alamitos. We now know (CHRB) that he was euthanized yesterday – six days of suffering later. He was seven. By the way, just prior to his death race, his loving “connections” – Silvia Soto, Jorge Farias – had him For Sale for about as cheap as a racehorse gets: $3,200.
Again, the regulation of the horseracing industry is a case of the foxes watching the henhouse.
These people are guilty of egregious abuse of horses and need to be held accountable for their crimes.
