I think we lost our Ellen, who used to do the $5 Charity Horse Donation. This Ellen was listed on The Old Friends Memorial Service for Monday. I know she moved from Michigan, but I never knew her last name. I hope I’m wrong……

I'm sorry to say this is our Ellen.  I knew her when she lived in Michigan and visited her once in Kentucky.  I was so sorry to see this.

Thank you for confirming. She loved her horses and I’m glad she was able to volunteer at Old Friends.

More bad news, my condolences to their connections and all who followed and loved them.:(

The horse death toll at Churchill Downs continued to grow Friday when Lost in Limbo, a 7-year-old gelding, was euthanized after breaking down in the seventh race. The horse was running in a claiming race, his 35th lifetime start. Adding that to a previously unreported death two weeks ago, 11 horses have died in a month at the Louisville home of the Kentucky Derby.

Lost in Limbo threw his rider, Ricardo Santana Jr., during the post parade but was OK'd to run. The death was confirmed by Dr. Will Farmer, equine medical director for Churchill Downs, Inc., through a spokesman.

On May 13, Bosque Redondo finished 10th in a race but was then taken off the course by equine ambulance, according to the steward’s report. “The horse was transported to a Lexington clinic for further diagnostics,” the report said. “It was later reported that the horse was humanely euthanized due to his injuries and poor prognosis for recovery.”

If I had a horse I would run it at Churchill

They should close the track-- too many injuries and deaths IMO
