More NYRA trouble........suit.

[Echo Farm]

Probably just a thorn in their side, but nevertheless a problem, and a sad ending for a filly.

January 21, 2008 -- Point of Order had a bright future ahead of her in racing.

But that was before she was tragically injured while being moved from Aqueduct to Belmont in March and had to be put down.

Now, her owner, James Culver, has filed a negligence suit against the New York Racing Association, which owns both tracks, accusing the organization of killing the 18-month-old filly

It's a sad story . I feel bad for her and Culver.

It is hard to take the story too seriously when the horse is described as being 18 months old. I wasnt aware that NYRA was running yearling races. If Culver was so concerned about the fillies welfare he should have hired a private carrier to have her moved.

Good point. One has to wonder about the accuracy of the story as well as the devilish details not described.

Why is this coming out now as it happened in the early Spring of '07?

Seriously if the horse needed ambulatory services they simply had to pay for it.

Probably because the lawsuit wasn't filed in the early spring of '07
