5-year-old Ritaan in the 7th at Parx yesterday, in the words of the chartwriter: “Ritaan was squeezed between rivals early and fell causing catastrophic injury and was subsequently euthanized.” Her responsible exploiters: Los Menzez Racing, Carlos Caban, Angel Castillo. A bit earlier, there was this note on the 3rd race: “Due to a spill on the first turn involving two horses, this race was declared a no contest.” No results, no mention of which horses took those “spills.” That said, a line like that usually means a horse (or two) died. Replays for both races, of course, were “unavailable” on the Parx site.
This is horseracing.
