The severity of Calle de Oro's injury near the three-furlong pole was truly catastrophic. It was a moment that sent shockwaves through the racing community. The horse, which was only two years old, had shown great promise before this tragic event. The sight of such a young and vibrant athlete succumbing to such a fate was truly a sight to behold.
The immediate pulling up of the horse and the subsequent euthanasia were difficult decisions that had to be made. It was a painful reminder of the risks and challenges that come with the world of horseracing. The fact that this happened in full public view only added to the sense of horror and disbelief.
The stewards' inquiry around the final turn was a necessary step in the aftermath of this tragedy. It was important to ensure that all aspects of the race were conducted fairly and within the rules. However, the fact that no action was deemed necessary raised some questions among the spectators and the racing community.
Many wondered if there could have been more that could have been done to prevent this injury or to provide better care for the horse. The lack of a definitive outcome from the inquiry only added to the sense of frustration and disappointment.
The complicit parties in this tragic incident include 3C Stables, Jose Corrales, George Resta, Erick Fuentes, and all those who support the U.S. horseracing industry in any way. Their actions or inactions may have played a role in the occurrence of this tragedy. It is important to hold them accountable and to ensure that such incidents do not happen again in the future.
The horseracing industry must take a hard look at itself and address the issues that led to this tragic event. There must be a greater emphasis on the welfare and safety of the horses. Only then can the industry continue to thrive and be respected.
