Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted October 28, 2019 Journalists Share Posted October 28, 2019 Bye Bye Beautiful (Flatter) was humanely euthanized after the third race Sunday at Santa Anita. After being pulled up past the half-mile pole, Bye Bye Beautiful was immediately evaluated by a team of on-track veterinarians, led by Santa Anita Park veterinarian Dr. Dana Stead, and transported in the equine ambulance. Stead observed that the filly had suffered a right forelimb lateral condylar fracture with medial sesamoid involvement and, because of the severity of the injury, made the decision to humanely euthanize the horse. Jockey Tiago Pereira was uninjured. As mandated by the California Horse Racing Board, Bye Bye Beautiful will undergo a necropsy at the University of California-Davis School of Veterinary Medicine. Bye Bye Beautiful, a 2-year-old filly, was making her second start for owners Grenier, Lawless or Lewkowitz, et al. She finished fourth in her first start Sept. 13 at Los Alamitos. A statement from The Stronach Group on the Santa Anita website said, “The thoughts of the team at The Stronach Group and Santa Anita go out to everyone who cared for the filly, including trainer J. Eric Kruljac and his staff.” The post Breakdown at Santa Anita appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
