Not one but two “athletes” were killed “in competition” at Los Alamitos Saturday. In the 2nd race, Perky Cowgirl went down and was subsequently euthanized. Later on the day’s entertainment, it was Midnight Huckabee. Although the chart for the latter said he was carted off by ambulance, CHRB spokesperson Mike Marten disclosed that Midnight “immediately died from injuries sustained when he fell.” Both horses were but two years old – equine babies. They are kills 22 and 23 for Los Alamitos this year.
