WO's Wake at Noon probe results in Schickedanz ban

[Alan07]

Woodbine is conducting an internal investigation into the death of Wake at Noon, a former Canadian horse of the year who sustained catastrophic injuries and was euthanized on the dirt training track here Tuesday.

The Ontario Racing Commission had the horse sent to Guelph University, for a necropsy.

Here's some more on this tragic story:

Wake at Noon, 13, dies on Woodbine track

It's a joke that people who put these horses back into training act so distraught when they breakdown.

Bruno Shickendanz has entered the Horse Racing Hall of Shame .

I pulled up this thread and thought to myself...man, who resurrected a this thread, figured he had died some years ago.

Worse, what does it say about Mountaineer.

Ugh

“I wanted to send him to Woodbine and see what he would do in a workout. He’s been acting like a 3-year-old at the farm. I had plans to send him to race at Mountaineer Park in West Virginia.”

Idiot

Agreed he's an idiot

Just sickening

[DaTruth]

This is shameful. That horse did enough a long time ago.

Sad, sad, sad.

Bad week for Canadian champions.

This just sucks. This never should have happened, poor guy.

I figured out what should be done with this Mr. Chicken$hit. It appears he was born in 1947. Let's make his a$$ run around the Woodbine track until he keels over with injuries. Then we can put him out of his misery.

Here is an additional story from Jennifer Morrison's blog. I think the A-hole to the left in the pic is Bruno Schickedanz himself not to be confused with Gus Schickedanz who once campaigned Langfuhr.

My son just got a pellet gun... I'm printing that picture out and letting him use it for target practice. (Of course I will cut off the rest of it )

Owner and breeder Bruno Schickedanz will no longer be allowed to enter or stable horses at Woodbine, the track's executive vice president of racing, Jamie Martin, said Friday.

"We have completed our investigation, and as far as the discussions I've had, with the various people involved, I think this is the right approach," said Martin. "The horses he has racing today and tomorrow will be allowed to run, but we are no longer accepting entries for any of his horses, and he's going to have to move his horses off the backstretch."

An Ontario Racing Commission investigation into the matter also is under way.

Ugh

Mountaineer AKA Waterford Park ... nuff said. For those of you who are to young to remember or didnt know, Waterford Park was the killing fields of horse racing. As a kid I cant count how many times I saw the dead horses lying behind the recieving barn from that nights racing and the old drunk guys pulling the shoes off of them to recycle. Nothing suprises me there , they may have a new name and better purses but I cant imagine the mentality has changed much.

Schickedanz's appeal for reinstatement denied

[chucklestheclown]

Tracks really need to get their acts together:
Wake at Noon was a good fifth in the 2000 Queen’s Plate, won by Scatter the Gold, and has competed in the Breeders’ Cup but had not raced since November 2007. According to Woodbine rules, any horse older than 10 that has not won in the last year isn’t eligible to race at the track.
....the investigation would include trying to determine how a horse that was ineligible to race at Woodbine got past security and onto track property. An ineligible horse isn’t granted a stall, even if it’s just for a few hours for a workout.
