Fractured toes at Tucson dog track – Feb. 19, 2008, 2 dogs in 1 night
Two years ago today – Feb. 19, 2008 – two racing greyhounds were injured at Tucson Greyhound Park. Both dogs fractured their toes.
But Of Course fractured a right toe – treatment and recovery time not provided. Because no information is listed on the report, we don’t know if treatment or recovery was or was not provided. According to this website, this was But of Course’s last race after running 63 races. What happened to this greyhound?
On the very same night of Feb. 19, 2008, another racing greyhound RLM’s Sundowner fractured a left toe. The treatment is listed as “not provided”. Again we don’t know if treatment was or was not provided. The recovery time listed is 6 weeks. The comment listed is “”Broke off entire nail, ripping off half the quick.”
This dog continued to race until August 2008 when he was adopted.
