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.

Wicked’s body was exhumed under a court order from its original grave at Double D Ranch near Versailles, Ky., after legal wranglings between Dena Lopez, the owner of the ranch where the attacks took place, and Sally and Joe Jackson, Wicked’s owners. (For archived articles on the attacks visit www.TheHorse.com/sbreds.) His head, heart, mane, and tail were reburied at the KHP last week
