Three Standardbreds Stolen

It has been reported that during the late-night and early-morning hours on December 28/December 29, a trio of standardbred racehorses, Oat Matt Donald, New Moon and Shorty B, were stolen from their stalls.

The news has come courtesy of a report by northwestohio.com. The article states that the horses stolen from the Fulton County Fairgrounds were valued at $5,000 each.

"These horses were pacers and trotters. And they used them for racing purposes. So maybe that's what the interest was in them," Fulton County Sheriff's Office Chief Deputy Roy Miller was quoted as saying.

The article states that horse auctions have been notified about both the theft and the face that the horses can be identified via specific identification marks.
