I would like to know why someone has twice added the following garbled information to the profile of Arcangues, racehorse, at Wikipedia:

However, the product piece did not run very much, and it was a sad ending called the slaughter house forwarding that waited for a horse. It is a thing since Ferdinand to have become the slaughter house forwarding at a Breeders' Cup Classic championship horse.

The English language can become a very ugly thing in the hands of the wrong people.

Yep, the grammar is the main issue here. The author meant to say something like this:

However, his offspring did not run well, and eventually Arcangues was sent to a slaughterhouse. He (after Ferdinand) is the second Breeders' Cup Classic winner to die in such a manner.

Doesn't bear too much resemblance to the original passage, does it?

Either way, it sucks for the horse.
