Title: A horse dies on the track where you race... Where does it end up?
Post by: Calhoun on January 27, 2026, 08:57:52 PM
We see it dragged into the trailer and vanned off.  Then what?

Is there always a necropsy?

Disposal... what percentage are:

- Sent to Canada or Mexico?
- Rendered at a regulated facility?
- Cremated?
- Buried?
- Landfill?

What happens where you race?

In Ontario they have to be taken to Guelph University for necropsy, at the owner's expense.

This idiot doesn't know first a necropsy mandated? Then proper processing. Maybe he only knows 1/4200th of the rules.  ngc3

Probably every way you said, but predominantly if government / university will hall away and perform the necropsy, for free and you might find out why they died.

Cremation could cost about $2k.

I asked the Sopranos about body disposal...

Tony - "We buried him. On a hill. Overlooking a little river. With pinecones all around"  ngc3

Christopher - "It's going to be a while before I eat anything from Satriale's"  ngc3

Uncle Junior - "Crying over a chunk of Marble?"  ngc3

Joey Peeps getting his brains blown out - "Couldn't have been much to clean up."  ngc3

Joey Peeps on the headstone - " It's a fucking nickname, his family name is Peparelli."  ngc3
