Last week...

• Game On Girl “fell at the top of the stretch” at Parx
• Rodeo Red “stopped suddenly when bleeding from the nostrils” at Parx
• Miss Classy Tee “vanned off” at Evangeline
• Total Tap “vanned off” at Tampa Bay
• Secret Boyfriend “vanned off” at Gulfstream
• Rey de Ligas “vanned off” at Gulfstream
• Isabellaalexa “pulled up lame, vanned off” at Laurel
• Ransack “vanned off” at Turfway
• Strike Now “returned bleeding from the nostrils” at Turfway
• Rockin Jo “vanned off” at Aqueduct
• Tellyouinseattle “fell, vanned off” at Remington

While not all the “vanned” end up dead, most do as borne out by my year-end FOIA reports. But even if death is not the ultimate result, the above are victims nonetheless, suffering painful injuries – in the case of the bleeders, pulmonary hemorrhage – so that some men may gamble, others chase pots of gold.

(For any new confirmed deaths during the week, please see running annual list.)
