The horse broke down and it was just as predictable as it was appalling.
IMO when it's that obvious an owner/trainer is trying to get rid of a horse, someone at the track should intervene and subject the horse to much more than just the regular pre-race look from the vet. Basilone didn't deserve to die just because Pompa made a lousy investment.
