Towy Girl (4) and Arctic Desert (8 years old) at Kempton on Wednesday.
Excerpt, comments on running (Racing post) Sadly, there was a nasty incident over four furlongs from home, when Kaballero appeared to clip heels with Tuning Fork and fell, which ended up bringing down Arctic Desert, who brought down Imperium and Towy Girl, and made Billy Cray on Bollywood unseat. The rider on Tuning Fork was found to have caused considerable interference by careless riding, in that he had allowed his mount to drift right towards the rail, and he was suspended for seven days. |
an excerpt from drf:
California Blaze dies during training California Blaze, who finished sixth in a division of the Oceanside Stakes on July 16, died of an apparent heart attack while training on Thursday, trainer Darrell Vienna said. "They think it was a heart attack, but the necropsy is not done," Vienna said. "He had no problems with his limbs." Owned by breeder Charlotte Wrather, California Blaze, 3, won 2 of 6 starts and $62,660. |

This one from the Alameda Fair was missed....I know because I was there. Forever Chocolate was the favorite, or close to it. Looked to me like she was in discomfort of some kind in the paddock pre-race, and I lamented afterwards that no one from her connections other than the walker appeared to be around to witness.... 07-04-082 STEWARDS’ INQUIRY – ACCIDENT – Seventh Race – NO CHANGE The stewards posted the inquiry sign to investigate the cause of an accident at the 4 ½ after three horses fell and unseated their jockeys. After a thorough review, the stewards affirmed the order of finish posted on the infield tote board. Tapes showed that #2 FOREVER CHOCOLATE, ridden by Alex Bisono, collapsed while racing mid-pack and fell toward the inside rail throwing Bisono. Two trailing horses, #3 THREE ACROSS with Jorge Herrera in the saddle and #8 D’WEATHERMAN, Saul Arias up, were unable to avoid the downed horse and the two horses fell dislodging the jockeys. Track veterinarian Dr. Robert Connolly reported that FOREVER CHOCOLATE was deceased at the scene and there was no evidence that the horse suffered any catastrophic skeletal injuries. The cause of death will be determined through a post mortem examination. THREE ACROSS and D’WEATHERMAN recovered their legs after the spill and were captured without incident. THREE ACROSS suffered minor scrapes and D’WEATHERMAN incurred a three inch laceration. Alex Bisono escaped unscathed and was cleared to ride the next race. Jorge Herrera complained of shoulder pain and Saul Arias suffered head injuries. Both riders were taken to local hospitals for further examination After the fact edit: Just realizing the link was for three sets of minutes over the three part-weeks of the meet. Echo's was for the 3rd and final week. |

Oh my god! I've been out of internet touch and had no idea. Charlotte had such high hopes for this fellow, looking at longer turf races. She must be devastated. |

From South Africa Racing...
WENDYWOOD DEAD (no author listed) The best middle distance 3 year old filly of last season, Wendywood, has died. The Sean Tarry stable was on a high after National Colour's second in one of Europe's strongest Group 1 sprints only to find out that their other stable star has died. Like National Colour, Wendywood was owned by Chris Van Niekerk The filly was the toast of the South African racing scene late last season when she won the Woolavington Stakes for fillies over 2000m at Greyville. The race is traditionally regarded as a pointer to the Vodacom July. Wendywood was having only her second start when she won this group 1 event. She was beaten only once. She suffered a bout of colic on Friday night according to stable sources. |
