Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted February 25, 2019 Journalists Share Posted February 25, 2019 A 3-year-old gelding suffered a catastrophic injury during training at Santa Anita Monday and was euthanized, adding to three deaths at the Arcadia oval Friday and Saturday, according to Daily Racing Form. Santa Anita announced Sunday its main track would be closed for training Tuesday as officials conduct an examination of the racing surface in response to an increase in equine fatalities from last year to the current meeting. Charmer John (He’s Top) broke down soon after turning into the stretch during a work shortly after the track’s 7:30 renovation break Monday, DRF’s Jay Privman reported. The once-raced gelding was taken by horse ambulance back to the barn of trainer Mark Glatt, but was euthanized shortly after. This story will be updated throughout the day.
