Utopia Talk / Politics / Kentucky derby - OT

obaminated Member	Sat May 06 16:27:12 Anyone gonna watch? 10 years ago I found it a chore to sit down and "enjoy". These days I genuinely find it interesting and exciting. I don't keep up with horse racing nearly enough so I pick my winner based off name, this year I'm going with two phils... because one Phil is never enough.

Churchill Downs Racetrack — which hosts the crown jewel of competitive horse races — called the deaths "highly unusual" and "completely unacceptable." In a public statement on Wednesday Churchill Downs said, "We take this very seriously and acknowledge that these troubling incidents are alarming and must be addressed." While thousands of horses have died in the last decade from racing-related injuries, four deaths during a single Kentucky Derby Week, which takes place every May in Louisville, Kentucky, have owners, trainers, and animal welfare activists asking questions. Two horses died from unknown causes when they both suddenly collapsed after completing races. Two more horses were euthanized this week due to irreparable injuries, according to a statement from Churchill Downs Racetrack. A horse must win all three races to win the Derby's coveted Triple Crown prize, which comes with a multi-million dollar prize. Parents Pride died on Saturday, which was Opening Night, and Chasing Artie died on Tuesday. Both were owned by Ken Ramsey and trained by Saffie Joseph Jr., Churchill Downs Racetrack confirmed in the statement. Trainer Joseph Jr. told a local newspaper that the two horses seemed to collapse out of nowhere. Two other horses sustained musculoskeletal injuries, which are bone and joint disorders that can cause debilitating pain and impair a horse's ability to see, breathe, and even chew and swallow, according to Stephen B. Adams, a professor of surgery at Purdue University, College of Veterinary Medicine. One horse, Wild Ice, was injured during training on April 27, while the second horse, Take Charge Briana, was injured during a turf race on May 2. Wild on Ice was taken to Rood & Riddle Equine Hospital for care, but both horses "were ultimately euthanized for humane reasons," Churchill Downs said. All four horses will undergo complete necropsies at the University of Kentucky Veterinary Diagnostics Lab, the statement said. CBS News has reached out to Churchill Downs and Ramsey Farms for comment.

Though she was registered as roan, she was, in fact, a gray with a white blaze on her face.
obaminated Member	Sat May 20 16:27:08 Another horse is euthanized hours before the Preakness. If i was the owner of that horse id be beyond pissed. What a complete waste of money and time.
patom Member	Sun May 21 09:29:24 I feel sorry for the horses. The owners have more money than they know what to do with. Bunch of cheap bastards who hire mostly drunks to be grooms.
