Ray Paulick has an excellent article on the Paulick Report, regarding the recent incident involving Monzante. A former GR 1 winner of the Eddie Read, he was put down after pulling up in a 5k claimer. Here are the links to the Paulick Report article, and the DRF follow up which brings up a rather disturbing decision by the trainer.
JB, hope you don\'t mind me posting these links and discussion.
