Through a FOIA request to the Idaho Racing Commission, I have confirmed the following kill in 2022. (Note: Idaho’s last remaining commercial track closed in 2016. What’s left are various fairs, which combined had less than 25 days of racing last year.)
Time Freak, Aug 20, Cassia R – “traumatic fetlock fracture/luxation” (two years old)
Through a FOIA request to the Idaho State Racing Commission, I have confirmed the following kill in 2021. Please note, however, that Idaho’s last remaining commercial track, Les Bois Park, closed in 2016. What’s left are state and county fairs, which combined had less than 25 days of racing last year.
Wall Streete, Sep 25, Pocatello R
“traumatic injury after collision with inside rail; medication used: Euthasol”
Wall Streete was two years old.
Through a FOIA request to the Idaho State Racing Commission, I have confirmed the following kills there in 2019. Please note, however, that Idaho’s last remaining active racetrack, Les Bois Park, closed in 2016. What’s left are state and county fairs, which combined had less than 30 days of racing last year.

Past the Stars, Sep 6, Black Foot R
Through a FOIA request to the Idaho Racing Commission, I have confirmed the following kill there in 2018. Please note, however, that Idaho’s last remaining active racetrack, Les Bois Park, closed in 2016. What’s left are state and county fairs, which had a combined 27 days of racing in 2018. Having said that, based on experience (the data elsewhere on this site) and the difficulty I encountered even getting a response, I’m fairly confident that I have not captured all of Idaho’s killing with this request.
