Baffert-trained horse euthanized at Pimlico before Preakness win.

A horse trained by Bob Baffert, Havnameltdown, was euthanized on the track due to a leg injury during the undercard at Pimlico Race Course on Saturday, several hours before another one of the Hall of Famer’s 3-year-old colts, National Treasure, won the Preakness Stakes. Havnameltdown buckled forward and threw jockey Luis Saez off his back during the day’s sixth race, then continued running around the final turn in some distress. Saez was conscious and taken to Sinai Hospital for evaluation, complaining of leg pain.

Bob Baffert's Preakness Wins Marred by Tragedy and Injury.

Bob Baffert's National Treasure won the Preakness Stakes, giving the trainer his record eighth win in the race. However, the victory was overshadowed by the death of Baffert's horse Havnameltdown earlier in the day. The fatality was another blow to a sport already reeling from recent horse deaths. Baffert, a Hall of Famer and longtime face of horse racing, returned to the Preakness after a suspension stemming from a failed drug test by his horse Medina Spirit in the 2021 Kentucky Derby.

National Treasure won the Preakness, giving trainer Bob Baffert his record-breaking eighth Preakness title. However, the day was marred by the on-track euthanizing of Havnameltdown, a horse trained by Baffert, and the criticism of Baffert's history of doping violations and suspensions. Animal rights groups called for Baffert to be barred from the track. Despite the tragedy, National Treasure's victory provided a moment of triumph for Baffert and his team.
