This for Laughing Fit in the 3rd at Presque Isle yesterday: “Laughing Fit trailed the field through the turn, took a bad step nearing the quarter pole, breaking down, and was euthanized humanely on the track.” She was five; ’twas her 30th time under the whip. Her final owner (she had several), Julia Mauro, also had her “For Sale” (cheap: $5K) immediately before she was killed. Love ’em like children.
Replay is very disheartening. However.more to this story the jockeys refused to do subsequent races because of the ambulance time it took for the jockey that fell to be attended. They had to cancel remaining card.
