Did Anyone Have Horses at San Luis Rey Downs?

Postby ZiaLand » Fri Dec 08, 2017 9:32 am

Saw it all unfold on live FB feed as workers scrambled to turn the horses loose to give them a chance, but they were galloping around in a panic as barns and trees burned around them. It sounds like more than a dozen were lost as of yesterday due to fire, smoke inhalation or injury, and probably many more. Absolutely horrifying.

Only one identified that I know of, an unraced 2YO named Oddsmaker by Morning Line, who was described as the best 2YO in the trainer's barn.

Does anyone have, or known of, horses that were stabled there?
