We lost Golden Caesar at Aq on 3/11 after his 3rd race in a month.

Sacred Light pulled up lame and was vanned off at GG yesterday.

For those who don't remember, he was a derby contender, but ended up 23rd in graded earnings (97k). He finished 9th at Belmont and 4th in the Ohio Derby. After that he went progressively downward racing in Allowance, AOC, and Claiming races. He's been in the Hollendorfer barn since 1/4/09

He's earned $380k lifetime.

Sorry. I'll add him to the Angels thread.

Sad day over there.

What the hell?!!!


Horrible.....

Colby Hernandez went down very hard, trying to check with a colleague of mine who owns and races over there as to the status of those involved.

Wow I'm just kind of stunned. That's insane to read. My imagination about what it must've been like for those at the track just goes all sorts of places that aren't very pleasant. Geez. :(

Sincero-he ran in the sixth at gulfstream yesterday. blew the first turn, apparently the saddle slipped-he veered to the outside on the backstretch and flipped over the outer rail. was wondering if anyone knew how he and the rider came out of that?

I don't know if this is accurate or not (hopefully it is) but on another forum they're saying both are okay.

good, thanks.

Giganticus, at SA yesterday (vanned off after the race)...

This is a little off-topic but I heard Glencrest Farms (who had the Indiana fire last month) has a Derby contender. Does anyone know who it is or have any further updates on the mares/foals that died? Not to be callous but.

They have Devil May Care. I assume she's the contender unless there's another one. We should know more about whether she's going after her work this weekend. I'm not sure about the mares and foals. What info did you want to know? I'm sure the names are out there somewhere, but I don't know what other details there are.

Quiet Steps broke his ankle at Pimlico Thursday during his career debut in the 3rd race and was euthanized. RIP.

Someone told me a horse fell over after him, and I was wondering if he was okay but I don't know the name for sure--was it Justkeepcomingback? I assumed so since they were the last two names on the chart but I couldn't find details. It sounds like the two jockeys are alright.

The Glencrest Farm that owns Devil May Care has nothing to do with the farm in IN with the fire.

Are you sure about that? And I actually thought it was another horse.
