Default 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."

Default Trouble in Venezuelan racing

Poisoning of top horse Rio Negro,shines light on drugging horses, intimidating and kidnapping jockeys and mafia style control of betting.

I feel so bad for the horses living conditions now.. Pretty barbaric.
