Oh, god, that's sickening and sad.
The track has to have a vet there during hours they have their track open for training. Period. Seems that's clearly encoded in their own rules.

That is truly sad. Penn National should be ashamed of themselves. I will never bet that track ever again

Penn National is a cesspool. This is one track that should be shut down.

Very sad.
I bet you if one of the slot machines broke down, someone would be there in less than an hour to fix it.

I'm not sure why the trainers vet isn't getting the bulk of the blame here?

I agree. But the Penn National spokesman should have been a bit more compassionate and not come off as indifferent, even though we know that's exactly what he is.

Quote:
He was the one that ended up sending a vet to euthanize the horse. Where wasn't he "covered"?The question is, are tracks responsible for having a vet (paid by the track) on the premises for on-track emergencies during training and racing hours, or not (just during racing hours here)?
