Missing In Action - Can You Help?

CAN YOU HELP?

Below is a list of horses whos fate is currently unknown. They are all confirmed to have broken down in racing, but I cannot confirm that these horses have been euthanased. It is highly likely that most of these horses did not survive, perhaps put down several hours later after they left the track when the extent of thier injuries was discovered.
This is where I require your input ~ If you can confirm any of these horses were euthanased please let me know so they can be added to the memorial properly, and given the respect in which they deserve.

* Update - Have had some information provided recently to confirm the status of some of these horses! Many thanks and keep up the good work!
