Oct 2016

The horse's name was
Alibi. He was a two year old Thoroughbred touted as the second coming of Secretariat. Trump contracted to buy the colt, planning to change the horse's name to (what else) DJTrump.

Trump decided he wanted to see the colt work. The trainer told him to hold off. There was a virus making its way around the barn and he did not want to stress the colt. Trump ignored the expert and insisted that Alibi work at top speed. As a result the colt sickened and nearly died. Reports say his front hooves had to be amputated so I would imagine he developed a bad case of laminitis.

Having ruined the colt Trump then refused to live up to the contract and pay for the horse. He stiffed the breeder for some 500,000. Mind you the breeder was was not a good guy; he had mob ties and s major gambling problem.

Sadly I have no idea what happened go poor Alibi Given the sort of people fjord owned it probably did not end well.
