Horse "Put Down" After Finishing Second At Kentucky Derby
It was a grim after-party for second place finisher Seven Gents. After losing to Large Auburn on Saturday, the filly was euthanized just after finishing a cool-down run of the track.
"There was no way," reported trainer Phillip Gallagher when interviewed by the Associated Press. "She ran an incredible race." But that just wasn't enough. Without the win, nobody from Buckberry Farms could be happy. A hitman (hired by the owner of Buckberry Farms) positioned near the second turn fired two shots, both hitting each ankle.
"She didn't have a front leg to stand on to be splinted and hauled off in the ambulance," said an on-call veterinarian.
The owners of Buckberry Farms could not be reached for comment.
That is all.
