Monzante
So sorry to see his demise today. He won the Grade 1 Eddie Read 5 years ago to the day today. Today he went wrong in a $4,000 claimer at Evangeline.

Really sad - don't know why owner/trainer would run the horse in that spot. 10 yr old and 9 yr old coupled entry - go off as the favorite. Unreal.

On 6/4 there was a tweet which read " Monzante Deserves Better Than This ". Along with full page photos of him in better days .
This same person claims she contacted O.F. two months ago . Unfortunately
her worst fears happened .
We can only try to do the best for the horses and save face for the sport .
Sometimes you just can't win over the ignorance and greed .
You can view Monzantes photo's through tweets sent to Alex Brown .

I will take a stab and say its "Old Friends" Equine Farm near Lexington, KY. A great retirement place for some of the top T-Breds that have run over the years.
Michael Blowen does a great job there. It is also a must stop if you are ever making a trip to Keeneland.

This is how Mr Paulick sums it up: What could have prevented this tragedy? Stricter rules and tighter regulation by the Louisiana Racing Commission might have determined Monzante was not fit or sound enough to race again, but this was a human failure, not an institutional one.
Compassion, common sense, and decency by any of Monzante’s previous owners or trainers would have stopped the horse’s descent to the lowest rung on the racing ladder, where the endings are seldom good.

You don't see a title like this much from Steve Haskin . I'm glad Bloodhorse
let him run with it .
Monzante’s Death a Disgrace
The death of this old warrior has brought out a lot of outpouring from many in the industry .. Everyone hoping that the racing commission in Louisiana
wakes up and makes stiff change .
