Mongolian Groom's Death at The Breeders' Cup Angers Activists
Animal rights groups on Sunday called for an immediate halt to horse racing following the high-profile death of a gelding in Saturday’s Breeders’ Cup Classic at Southern California’s Santa Anita Park. Four-year-old Mongolian Groom injured his left hind leg going into the final turn of the nationally televised $6 million race, and was taken away from the track in an ambulance and later euthanized.
