Subtle Humor

Per David Grening -
New York Racing Association officials confirmed that both SUBTLE HUMOR and CON SNEAKY had to be euthanized as a result of incidents in back-to-back races at Aqueduct.

In the third, Subtle Humor, a 4-year-old Florida-bred daughter of Da Stoops trained and owned by David Jacobson, was pulled up about a sixteenth of a mile into the race by jockey Cornelio Velasquez. Though she was vanned off, Subtle Humor was diagnosed with a sesamoid fracture and was euthanized.



Con Sneaky

In the fourth, CON SNEAKY, a 3-year-old New York-bred daughter of Congaree owned by David Cummings and others and trained by Richard Metvier, suffered a hind tibia fracture during the stretch run of the six-furlong race and had to be euthanized.

These are the first two racing-related fatalities of the main track meet. There were 15 during the inner track meet.
