Really Up Town put to sleep following leg injury
Speaking to this news site today December 27, 2014, a horse owner whose horse competed in the races yesterday confirmed with us that Really Up Town had to be euthanized due to the extent of the injury.
“The horse Really Up Town is the one they had to put to sleep yesterday,” said the source, who was at the track yesterday and close to the situation. “It was due to a foot injury,” he said.
A relative of owner Violet ‘Letty’ Hodge, who did not want to be named, confirmed to this news site that the Really Up Town was put to sleep yesterday following the race and that the reason was the extent of the foot injury. The relative confirmed too that Hodge was away from the Territory.
Really Up Town is the first horse to win the Triple Crown and the Governor’s Cup in the same year - achieving both in 2013.
