Another one from the News That Sucks department — Nashoba’s Key was euthanized today after injuring herself in her stall:
Bred and owned by Warren Williamson, and trained by Carla Gaines, Nashoba’s Key won 8 of 10 starts and $1,252,090.
Gaines was unavailable for comment, but released a one-paragraph statement late Wednesday morning.
“In a freak accident at 5:30 a.m. this morning at Hollywood Park, Nashoba’s Key kicked the wall of her pen and broke her hind leg,” the statement said. “She was euthanized shortly thereafter. She brought a lot of joy to everyone’s lives that were lucky enough to be associated with her and we will all miss her very much.”
Sigh.
