Fire at Ocean kills horse

 Return Home
March 23, 2006 Send To A Friend  | Print View

A barn fire at Ocean Downs in Maryland late Wednesday afternoon killed one horse and caused minor injuries to a caretaker who was leading horses away from the inferno. Speedy Mac, a 4-year-old mare trotter, was reportedly killed in the blaze that was reported around 5:30 p.m.



Speedy Mac made 26 career starts, with eight wins and a mark of Q2:06.1h at Saratoga Harness. She was sold last June to her current owners, Robert Leslie Smith and Louis Du Brel, and she never made a start for them.



Seven horses were in the barn at the time of the fire, with six led out safely. A security guard was reportedly hurt when he was knocked to the ground by a horse he was taking from the barn. The cause of the fire is under investigation. Ocean Downs does not open for live racing until Memorial Day weekend.
