You guys... I need to thank you and thank the people who sent pm's and stuff. This sounds fake but really... I'm just so touched and so grateful.
It got to be too much. You know? I know you've got to be able to take whatever crap online and I do and can but when it gets to be a kind of relentless bullying and then spills over into private conversations... I just couldn't bear to come on here cause I couldn't stop crying. That sounds ridiculous but it's the truth. I do feel like I need to step away somewhat from this and the waiting for news on thread... I just get too sad and hurt. I can't leave though and I am sorry if I seemed like a drama queen but really... I cannot understand what kind of people - to be cliche - kick you when you're down and then keep kicking you and laugh at the same time. That's how I felt. So thank you for reminding me that that is just a small percentage of people and of other things as well. I am grateful. * * * I need to add these names... Kerensa, a 5 year old mare, at Towcester in her first and only race... Minella Humour, 6, also at Towcester... Ashammar, 6 years old, at Wolverhampton... Stoway, 9 years old, at Exeter... ... and Bering. http://bloodstock.racingpost.com/new...loodstocknews/ Quote:

GOLDEN SILVER
Golden Silver dies after Dial-A-Bet Chase fall By James Burn 3:53PM 27 DEC 2011 GOLDEN SILVER, the winner of three Grade 1 races including the 2009 Paddy Power Dial-A-Bet Chase, died on Tuesday following a fall in this year's race at Leopardstown. Trained by Willie Mullins for Violet O'Leary, the nine-year-old chased the leaders in the 2m1f contest, but took a crashing fall at the fifth fence. RELATED LINKS Golden Silver career profile Jockey Paul Townend, who rode the son of Mansonnien, was stood down for the rest of the Leopardstown card and taken to hospital. Paying tribute, Mullins said: "He will be sorely missed in our yard because he was one of our great servants. He was a character too and all the girls in our place loved him and anyone could ride him. "He was very classy, as all those big-race victories showed." Formerly in the care of Hubert Hosselet, Golden Silver joined Mullins in 2008 and was soon off the mark for his new trainer, winning a beginners' chase at Naas. He then landed the Grade 1 Arkle Novice Chase in January 2009. His next top-level success came in the Dial-A-Bet and he also added the Champion Chase at the 2010 Punchestown festival to his cv. Golden Silver, who won £590,323 in prize-money, never really fired in three visits to the Cheltenham Festival but enjoyed a great association with Townend. The pair combined 19 times for ten victories, including the three Grade 1s. "He hit the top and I'd say he broke his neck when he hit the ground, it was pretty sickening and fairly awful to watch," said Townend. "Golden Silver was good to me and I'll miss him."

MILITARY HAWK
Military Hawk, one of the most durable and classy Thoroughbreds in Washington history, has died from colic, trainer Sharon Ross said. Winner of 12 stakes and $688,128 in an exceptional 86-race career, the 24-year-old gelding expired during the week of Dec. 18 at Sharon and Larry Ross' farm in Auburn. A 1987 foal owned and bred by George and Norma Sedlock's G & N Thoroughbreds, Military Hawk ranks second on the state's all-time earnings list. He might be the only horse ever to win races at Longacres, Playfair, Yakima Meadows, and Emerald Downs. The gelding's final race was Aug. 17, 1997 at Emerald Downs, a head victory in a $40,000 claiming race with Hall of Fame jockey Gary Stevens aboard. Stevens also was up when Military Hawk won the 1992 Washington Championship--the final stakes race in Longacres History--en route to honors as the state's top handicap Horse that year. By Colonel Stevens--S.S. Hawk, Military Hawk debuted July 26, 1989 at Longacres, finishing second in a $16,000 maiden-claiming race for 2-year-olds. Military Hawk won stakes at Playfair and Yakima Meadows that fall, and would continue racing through his 10-year-old season in 1997. At Longacres, he finished second in the 1990 Longacres Derby and in 1991 won both the Renton Handicap and Seattle Handicap. Military Hawk also won stakes in California at Bay Meadows, Pleasanton, Solano, and Santa Rosa, and in Canada at Exhibition Park. Military Hawk spent his retirement at the Ross farm with former runners like Passing Game, Branden's Brandy, Marketal and 1985 Longacres Mile winner Chum Salmon, who died in 2005 at age 25.

SECRETS UNTOLD
Written by AAP Saturday, 31 December 2011 16:30 Tears flowed freely at Doomben on Saturday when Secrets Untold fatally snapped his shoulder in full view of the crowd and forced the stoppage of a race for the first time in memory. Secrets Untold, a nine-year-old gelding having his 77th start, stumbled and dislodged jockey Scott Seamer as the big field thundered out of the straight on the first lap of the 2020m race. Seamer and Secrets Untold lay prone on the track as barrier attendants assembled a man-made barricade around the pair while stewards signalled to other jockeys to restrain their mounts as the field approached the home straight on the second lap. Seamer was momentarily knocked unconscious and had no recollection of the horrific incident when he returned to the enclosure, and Secrets Untold was put down. Chief steward Wade Birch said the incident was the first of its kind in his memory. "We've never had to stop a race to avoid a fallen horse and/or jockey in my time," Birch said. "There was a similar incident in the Toowoomba Cup about 10 years ago when a horse reared at the start and knocked itself out but the field went around it. "We called the race off today as the field approached the 1100 metres. "In the interest and safety of the jockey we had no other option and it was the best thing to do." Stewards held an immediate inquiry and found nobody at fault. |

Bellacourt-2
NY Stakes Winner Bellacourt Euthanized By Esther Marr Updated: Thursday, January 26, 2012 4:43 PM Posted: Thursday, January 26, 2012 4:37 PM BellacourtNew York-based stakes winner Bellacourt, who finished third to eventual champion 2-year-old filly My Miss Aurelia in last year’s Adirondack Stakes (gr. II) at Saratoga, was euthanized in mid December due to complications from laminitis. According to trainer James Lawrence, Bellacourt had been working toward a start in the Nov. 19 Delta Downs Princess Stakes (gr. III) when she fractured her left front sesamoid at Fair Hill Training Center in Maryland. “We were breezing five eighths of a mile and in the last eighth when she switched leads, she just took a bad step and broke her sesamoid,” said Lawrence of the filly, who is owned by North Carolina-based attorneys George and Stephanie Autry. Bellacourt underwent a series of surgeries under the care of veterinarian Dean Richardson at New Bolton Center in West Chester, Pa., to repair the original injury, as well as other subsequent ailments, such as a tissue infection, colic, and a collapsed pastern. Following the fourth surgery, Bellacourt had shown signs of improvement, but then developed a serious case of laminitis. “She was doing really well, and then all of a sudden she took a turn for the worst, and we elected not to put her through any more pain,” said Lawrence. “It’s a real shame because she was such a talented filly. I think she was going to be very tough in New York company this year and also in open graded stakes.” Added George Autry, who started in the industry about seven years ago: “She took us to a place we haven’t been before, so she will always be special for that reason.” Bellacourt, a daughter of Lion Heart—Gold Court, by Strike the Gold, won two of her five career starts, including the Oct. 22 restricted Joseph A. Gimma Stakes at Belmont Park. Bred in New York by Cheryl Prudhomme and Dr. Michael Gallivan, she had earnings of $101,550. Copyright © 2012 Blood-Horse Publications.
