A crowd of about 300 people overflowed the Kentucky Horse Park’s (KHP) Hall of Champions pavilion Sunday, July 10, in Lexington to honor Saddlebred champion Wild-Eyed &Wicked following his burial at the park. Wicked was one of three Saddlebreds that perished in July 2003 after attacks by injections in their left front pasterns left them too debilitated to survive (two horses recovered). There is no new information on the criminal investigation of the attacks.
