INGLEWOOD, Calif. – Cloud Man had to be euthanized because of the severe injuries he suffered on Sunday in the Hollywood Derby, trainer John Shirreffs said Monday morning.

“He had multiple fractures of his pastern, and there was no way to put it back together without pain and, eventually, founder,” Shirreffs said. “The most humane thing to do when they in that condition is to do it quickly, while they are in shock. If you do it then, they are not really suffering.”

Jockey Cornelio Velasquez recorded his 3,000th career victory in North America Sunday when he guided Up in Smoke to an easy victory in the fifth race at Aqueduct.

The winners of all four of Saturday’s graded stakes races at Aqueduct will soon be headed to south Florida with their connections hopeful of targeting major races for them in 2012.
