Another day, another death. The Gaming Commission reports this for Schiller’s Lit: “acutely lame after workout [at Belmont] 5/18, sent to hospital 5/21…prognosis necessitated euthanasia.” Schiller’s Lit was three years old and being prepped for his first race. The Belmont death toll now stands at 15. The lie of “safe racing,” once again.

Belmont (NYRA, U.S. Racing) kills again. This morning while training, according to the NYS Gaming Commission, Bluegrass Jamboree “sustained a cardiovascular collapse at the wire – expired on track.” Bluegrass was but six years old – just coming into equine prime. She is the 14th racehorse to die at Belmont Park this year.

The NYS Gaming Commission has disclosed the death of Shock Therapy at Belmont Park yesterday: “[was] being treated for pleuropneumonia and laminitis, subsequently euthanized due to poor prognosis.” He was four years old and had been put to the whip 15 times, most recently at Aqueduct in February.

The California Horse Racing Board reports the death of an unidentified “pony” horse at Los Alamitos Sunday – cause, “other.” Though some may object to calling this an industry casualty, here at Horseracing Wrongs we have a simple, straightforward standard: if a horse dies whilst in servitude to Racing, said horse was killed by Racing.
