This past Monday, I reported on two ambulanced-off horses at Churchill last week. We now have further information from the Racing Commission:
“After being transported to a clinic for evaluation Nov 6, Splattered was humanely euthanized due to a catastrophic injury to her left foreleg.” Splattered was three years old, and this was her debut. Complicit in the kill: Fleetwood Bloodstock, Lael Stables, Wesley Ward, Gerardo Corrales, and all those who support the U.S. horseracing industry.
The very next day, “it was determined that Eighty West had suffered a catastrophic injury to his right hindleg, and he was humanely euthanized.” Eighty was just two years old, and this was his 4th race. Complicit in the kill: Stonestreet Thoroughbred, Dallas Stewart (and other owners), Luis Saez, and all those who support the U.S. horseracing industry.
