According to a report on bangordailynews.com, dogs have been banned from the Bangor Raceway backstretch after an eight-year-old gelding was spooked by a canine on Sunday, June 7. The gelding subsequently injured itself and
died.
The report states that the measure was put into place, effective immediately, on Monday, June 8 by state racing steward Ralph Canney.
Rich Camelot, a career $205,430 earner which was owned by Sunbury Stables and trained by Shawn Nye, was the gelding that died. The report cites internal injuries as the cause of death.
