The NYS Gaming Commission has just disclosed this for Rock the Weekend at Belmont Aug 11: “euthanized due to a grave health prognosis.” While detail is obviously lacking, I can tell you this poor boy was six and had been put to the whip 39 times, most recently at Saratoga Jul 24. Primary exploiter: Lolita Shivmangal.
What? They didn’t just wait for him to die in excruciating pain and then “find” him dead in his stall 2 days later?
