Two more horses injured and euthanized at Churchill downs on Saturday
Quote:
The first incident happened in the first race at Churchill Downs Saturday afternoon. Jockey Shaun Bridgmohan was thrown from his horse, Vinstar, after the horse took a bad step and broke down. Bridgmohan tried to pull-up the Steve Asmussen trained colt, but it was too late. Vinstar had to be euthanized on the spot with fractures in both front legs and a dislocated right front fetlock. Bridgmohan was transported to the hospital with minor injuries in his right arm and left leg.
Later in the fourth race Naughty Fu Peg, trained by Tim Burton and ridden by Corey Lanerie brook down with a fractured knee on his right front side. He was given a lethal injection on the track.

When is someone going to step up and stop this? Why are there no charges being filed against these people for pumping these horses full of drugs and racing them until they are dead?
It is time the people involved in this were put behind bars.
