Venezuela's favorite race horse poisioned
 

One of Venezuela's most-popular race horses is struggling to regain his strength after he was poisoned by an underground gambling ring.

"Rio Negro is now kept in a dark, cold stable that looks more like a prison with iron bars and proliferation of security cameras to ward off intruders."
