NEW YORK (AP) — Buddy’s Saint has been euthanized after breaking down during a workout at Belmont Park.
The chief examining veterinarian for the New York Racing Association said Sunday that the 3-year-old colt fractured his left shoulder during a morning workout.
Buddy’s Saint won the Nashua and Remsen stakes as a 2-year-old, and was close to returning to racing after being sidelined by a bone chip in his right front ankle that required surgery.
In his only start this year, the colt finished ninth in the Fountain of Youth at Gulfstream Park in February.
