We don’t follow horse racing at all. But one of our favorite horses of the last season (for rather obvious reasons) was Dennis Wier’s filly Carlsbad.
. . . the Arizona-bred filly won four races, all stakes, from seven starts this season. Undefeated in three starts as a two-year-old with trainer Kevin Lewis, she began 2009 with an eye-popping 13ΒΌ-length win in the Arizona Oaks in February at Turf Paradies.
Well, those days are over for poor Carlsbad. She reportedly fractured her ankle while galloping out for a workout on Saturday morning at LA’s Santa Anita Park and was “euthanized.”

Work ’em hard and kill ’em when they break. Such a humane sport.
