‘Harambe’ will make his racing debut Wednesday at Churchill Downs, the famed home of the Kentucky Derby, in Louisville, Kentucky.
It won’t be the deceased gorilla going head-to-head with thoroughbreds, but a 2-year-old colt owned by Muzeyyen Karabulut.
The horse is for sale and running in a maiden claiming race, meaning you can own ‘Harambe’ for $15,000. With the 2-year-old for sale, one wonders if Harambe was close to owner Karabulut’s heart, or he’s a master at using social media to sell a horse.
Harambe was a 17-year-old Western lowland gorilla that was fatally shot in May after a 3-year-old child fell into his pen at the Cincinnati Zoo.
