West Virginia-based Thoroughbred trainer Leslie Condon was killed when struck head-on in a motorcycle accident on Aug. 20, leaving behind nearly 40 horses in need of new homes. According to racingbiz.com, Condon's longtime friend Diana McClure is coordinating the care of those horses, and has set up a GoFundMe account to pay expenses while dispersal is arranged.
Condon has seven horses in training, six of which she owned herself. Trainer Sherry Lee Jackson has taken over the duties on Condon's horses at the track.
Another 31 horses were located at Condon's farm, including the stallion Weave It To Me (Bernardini), whose first foals are 3-year-olds this year.
“Leslie's horses were her passion and her life,” wrote McClure on the GoFundMe page. “We are asking for and will be so grateful for donations to help care for Leslie's beloved horses as we find homes for all of them.”
