I have confirmed the following kills at Evangeline:
Uthinkicare, in the 9th Jul 4. She was four years old and “For Sale” (cheap: $5,000) the day she died. The complicit: Ricky Demouchet, Junior Inirio.
This Gray Mischiev, in the 4th Jul 25. She also was four, and she also was “For Sale” at that same bargain-basement price. The complicit: Natika Blount, Averi Dussette, AJD Racing, Alvin Dussette, Jamison Mudd.
One Deal, in the 2nd Aug 22. He, too, was four, and, yes, “For Sale” at $5K the day he died. The complicit: L and G Racing, Cesar Govea, Jose Luis Rodriguez. The video:
Disco Ball, in the 6th Sep 5. This poor boy was nine. Imagine how beaten down his body was. The complicit: Dennis O’Neill, Larry Romero, Randy Degeyter Jr, Jansen Melancon.
And one from Prairie:
Happy Strike, in the 9th Aug 1. He was five. The complicit: G. Watts Humphrey Jr, F. Dewaine Loy, Walter De La Cruz.
I wish there was a way that legislation could be passed so that the IRS could and would refuse to give tax breaks and tax write-offs to owners and trainers who willfully run their racehorses to catastrophic breakdowns and death.
The name of that one horse says it all for a business that cares nothing for the horses or lower level people involved with this industry. That name typifies what occurs daily in this ” Crooked,Crummy, Gamboling Game”. We were there once as lower level riders & grooms at tracks here in Oregon & auctions throughout Washington as well.
Spot-on, Nancy.
Uthinkicare says it all doesn’t it?
