Three horses euthanized at Wyoming Downs

Three two-year-old horses were euthanized on Saturday, June 17, after falling during races at Wyoming Downs north of Evanston. Owing to the fact that the injuries happened at different locations on the track, the following races continued as scheduled.

During a phone call to the Herald, Wyoming Gaming Commission Executive Director Charles Moore referenced a meeting on Tuesday, June 20, during which he said an investigation is in place. More information will be available at the commission’s July 19 meeting. Beyond that, he said, “It’s very sensitive, and there’s nothing to add.”
