Formal Attire becomes eighth fatality at Aqueduct

[Southieboy]

A 3-year-old gelding was euthanized at Aqueduct Racetrack Sunday after fracturing its right knee — the eighth horse to die in 27 days of racing at the Queens facility.

Formal Attire was trailing the leader on the rail entering the far turn at Sunday’s second race when the injury occurred. The horse was euthanized a short time later.

The state Racing and Wagering Board has declared five other horses race-day fatalities since Dec. 12. Two additional horses were put down due to infections contracted after their initial track injuries. Last year at Aqueduct, 21 horses died in 74 days of inner track racing.
