Cornucopian broke down at Del Mar yesterday and is dead. I won’t spend any time on the obscene attention this particular kill is receiving – expensive horse, Grade 1 race, Del Mar, Baffert, and all that. Suffice to say, this poor boy is no more or no less worthy of our love and sympathy than the other 12,305 victims we’ve documented on this website.
Please delete this if you feel it necessary. I really thought they would have done “everything” to save this horse for the breeding shed. The heartfelt condolences, poor me’s, he was so special and the list goes on…bullshit. what is it going to take to end this miserable travesty of a so called sport. You who have your beautiful race horses and run them into the ground for what? Sad sad sad.
