Horses “vanned off” after U.S. Thoroughbred/QuarterHorse races last week. While not all horses “vanned off” end up dead, most do, as borne out by my year-end FOIA reports. In other words, the majority of these names will resurface on my killed lists.

Graveyard Shift at Parx (after being “ridden back to the paddock lame”)
Veil’s Vengeance at Sunland
Harlan Selection at Sam Houston (“fell after wire in distress”)
Senor Grits at Turf

Mac McLovin at Fonner
Terrible Tara not vanned but “slammed into the rail, DNF” at Gulfstream
