I received an email Sunday saying that Cry Me a Runner’s breakdown at Fresno earlier in the day was particularly horrific – a dangling hoof. Yesterday, the CHRB confirmed her death. She was five, and this was her 27th time under the whip.
The CHRB also says 6-year-old Tulane Tryst died at Fresno Friday – no details, of course. These are kills 9 and 10 for this year’s California Fair Season. Says Larry Swartzlander, executive director of the California Authority of Racing Fairs: “It is unfortunate and sad any time you lose an equine athlete.” Vile.
