Debbie McAnally's horse became the 21st to die this season at Santa Anita Park, euthanized after shattering her front leg on a training run.
McAnally wistfully remembers the 3-year-old filly."I picked her name 'Let's Light The Way' because she was an almost white thoroughbred and had this way about her," she said,"the elegant way she walked.
Additional testing with a veteran track expert will now use a machine Peterson invented, the Orono Biomechanical Surface Tester, that mimics the response of the front leg of a racehorse at a full gallop.Peterson's findings are now a part of a larger review underway."It's like the National Transportation Safety Board coming in after a plane crash and piecing everything together," he said. And like the NTSB review, it could take months.
