12/29/12 GG Race 6 - Horse Watch Follow-Up

The saga of Crown Over, the longshot claim by Trainer James Kasparoff that we've been following the past few months, came to a sad end today.  Having been claimed for $25k in August, and having run for a $16k tag exactly two weeks ago, Crown Over was entered Saturday for a claiming price of just four thousand dollars.  As recorded in the Equibase chart of the race, Crown Over "broke slow, raced up to mid pack then broke down on the turn."  

Peace and Love,

Jimbo

Page 3 of The Stewards Minutes of January 1 to The California Horse Racing Board:

confirms the sad news that Crown Over is indeed no more, having been euthanized on the track after suffering a fractured left front fetlock.

Peace and Love,
