re: Horse Dies After Running Into A Wall At Fort Worth Stock Show

Horse was obviously worth some money, otherwise he would have survived without a scratch.

Yep. It was supposed to be closed off for races, but apparently someone forgot to shut the gap off.

I was at the Fairgrounds when a horse went down in the final stretch right in front of the stands. Just nosed in and threw the rider down the track. They came out with a couple of trucks and strung up a black tarp between the horse and the audience.

The crowd was jabbering and then there was the single gunshot. You would have thought they would use an injection. The crowd got real quiet after that.

if you're gonna lie, at least make it believable. They don't use guns, PERIOD, END OF DISCUSSION. "Pink Juice" (T61, maybe?) was discontinued years ago- shame cause it was very effective.
They usually don't even euthanize the horse on the track unless the injury is cataclysmic. they'll load them in the ambo and nuke them on the backside.

If you heard an actual gunshot, it was one of the patrons robbing someone, came from the surrounding hood, or was an owner shooting a jockey for throwing a race.

I wonder if the horse's name was Earnhardt?

That's how Glenn Frey died

Damn. So I've been calling it pink stuff incorrectly for years?

That is correct. If they can, they will load anything into the ambulance to take backside to put down. My mare's half shattered both fronts in the champion's day juvenile last year, but thankfully it was on the back stretch.

Can I still keep calling it pink juice?
