they did put a filly down yesterday.   

 

ARCADIA, Calif. (AP) β€” The Breeders' Cup got off to a chaotic start on its second day, with a rare disqualification in the opening race and a horse euthanized with a broken leg at Santa Anita.

 

The $2 million Juvenile Fillies went from strange to tragic over several minutes Saturday. The DQ was announced after a green screen went up in a spot approaching the final turn to shield injured Secret Compass from the crowd.

 

Ria Antonia finished second but was declared the winner of the 1 1/16-mile race after She's a Tiger was disqualified by the stewards.

 

They ruled that She's a Tiger and Gary Stevens drifted out late, bumped Ria Antonia and Javier Castellano, slowing her momentum.

 

"I had gotten by Gary but when he came in to me, he bumped me off-stride," Castellano said.

 

Stevens, who won the $2 million Distaff with Beholder on Friday, said the stewards had a tough call.

 
 
Very sad.
