Old Man Winter was killed training at Finger Lakes yesterday. While the NY Commission gave no details, they did add the ever-hollow (not to mention laughable) “investigation continues.” Oh, and “rider not injured.” This poor boy was nine – nine – and had already been whip-raced 50 times, all at FL.
Out on the other coast, the CHRB says Low Humidity was felled training at San Luis Rey Saturday. He had just turned two and was being prepped for his debut.
Dead “athletes” every day – this is horseracing.
Finger Lakes and San Luis Rey should both be shutdown and the abusers of horses should be charged with Animal Cruelty. Killing your four legged gambling chips is morally depraved. Passing the buck of responsibility is a spineless thing to do.
