Poor baby. I know he couldn't run a straight line, but he was striking. I always have a soft spot for the troublemakers. RIP, NJJ.

This just came up on Del Mar barn notes... STAKES RUNNER NEW JOYSEY JEFF EUTHANIZED AFTER INJURY New Joysey Jeff, who finished third in the second division of the Oceanside Stakes on Del Mar’s opening day program July 19, suffered fractured sesamoids in his left front leg while working on the Jimmy Durante Turf Course this morning, and was euthanized. The 3-year-old son of Bright Launch, trained by Mark Glatt, was in the midst of a 5-furlong work when the injury occurred. He was the first worker on the course and the rest of today’s work schedule was canceled. In the Oceanside, the colt got to the lead in mid-stretch but ducked out under left-handed whipping and was outfinished by winner Obrigado and Porto Santo. He was put on the steward’s list following that race. Jockey Corey Nakatani, who was on the horse for today’s work, said of the Oceanside incident, “He was lugging in on me and I was trying to straighten him out. I hit him left-handed and he ducked out severely. He’s a colt with a ton of ability, though, and we’ve just got to work to make him better.” In Hollywood Park’s Grade III Cinema Breeders’ Cup Handicap, his race prior to the Oceanside, the horse ducked out in the stretch and dumped rider Jose Valdivia, who suffered a broken collarbone in the incident. Rest in peace. |
Man, that just stinks. I wonder if he would have been happier in another line of work...I've never heard of a horse breaking his seisamoids during a workout, although I'm sure it's happened. Maybe an underlying injury from the last race? Poor baby.
Thanks for the info, MMSC. |
Knights Templar.
Rest in peace, beautiful girl..... From DRF..... For Vella, a weekend of grief and cheer ETOBICOKE, Ontario - It would be an understatement to say the past week has been bittersweet for Woodbine-based trainer Danny Vella. Last Saturday, the Vella-trained Like a Gem registered a major upset in the $252,800 Wonder Where Stakes. But just two days earlier, Knights Templar, Canada's 2-year-old filly champion under Vella's handling last season, had to be euthanized following a battle with lymphoma, a form of cancer. Knights Templar, a Kentucky-bred, and Like a Gem, an Ontario-bred, had both come into the 2006 Woodbine meeting with high expectations. Knights Templar raced only once, however, finishing second in the six-furlong Star Shoot on April 30. Knights Templar, who spent her last days at the Woodlands Farm of Gail Wood, underwent a series of tests before lymphoma was diagnosed. "I have to commend Gail Wood and her crew," said Vella, who also was a member of the partnership that owned Knights Templar. "They did an amazing job, keeping her happy and comfortable. She didn't suffer a lot." Knights Templar had stamped herself a cut above her peers here last year with a 13 1/4-length win in the Grade 3 Mazarine, a 1 1/16-mile race. She went on to finish sixth in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies at Belmont under Gary Stevens. This year, Knights Templar opened with a sixth-place finish in Gulfstream's Sunshine Millions Oaks before returning in the Star Shoot. Overall, she won 3 of 9 starts and finished second twice for earnings of $329,117. Like a Gem began her season in promising fashion, with the Woodbine Oaks on June 11 her prime target. Her preparations were compromised this spring, though, when a virus swept through the Woodbine backstretch, and she finished last of 10 as the 4-1 second choice in the Woodbine Oaks. "She seemed to be all right going into the Oaks, but obviously she wasn't," said Vella. After getting a breather on the farm, Like a Gem made her turf debut in the 6 1/2-furlong Ontario Damsel here July 29, when she finished six lengths back in sixth place. "She had a nightmare trip there," said Vella. "It's amazing she ran as well as she did." Like a Gem, owned and bred by Garland Williamson, recorded her first stakes victory in the Wonder Where. She also has placed in two stakes on the main track. "She's in tip-top shape right now, and we can run her where we wish to," said Vella. Possibilities for Like a Gem's next race include the $150,000 Duchess, a 7 1/2-furlong race for 3-year-old fillies here Aug. 12, and the $125,000 Ontario Colleen, a one-mile turf race for 3-year-old fillies here Sept. 2. |
Early Ronan, trained by Gary Stute, suffered fractured sesamoids in her left foreleg this morning while working 4 furlongs on the main track. The 4-year-old filly was euthanized. It was the ninth equine death, the third during training hours, at Del Mar since the season opened, July 19.

Finally, something on the death of Adreamisborn.....
Excerpt from the San Francisco Chronicle..... Hollendorfer says Sharp Writer could be the next Adreamisborn Larry Stumes, Special to The Chronicle ..... Hollendorfer won the Grace with Adreamisborn last year when it was run on turf for the first time. Adreamisborn died because of an abscess in his pancreas soon after he finished fourth in the Grade 2 San Francisco Breeders' Cup Mile on April 29. "He had a couple bouts of colic (earlier in the year), and we sent him to UC Davis," Hollendorfer said. "The vets went over him head to toe and scanned him everywhere and scoped him and couldn't find anything. And then he had another bout of colic, and we sent him back and they couldn't find anything again. "Then the horse was training well and we ran him in the S.F. Mile, and he had another bout of colic and we sent him to the college again, and he died. When they did the necropsy, they found an abscess in his pancreas. It was probably something that never would have shown up." And nothing Hollendorfer could have done anything about. "Even though we train a lot of horses, we have a schedule that takes into consideration every horse's condition three times a day," he said. "Even though we do all these things, we still have problems the same as with any athletes with flesh and bone." One of the best horses Hollendorfer ever trained, Adreamisborn had a running style and a career strikingly similar to Sharp Writer's so far. Adreamisborn lost his first eight starts in 2002-03 before owner John Franks sent him from Kentucky to Hollendorfer. From early 2004 through his death, Adreamisborn won 11 of 25 starts with seven seconds and three thirds and earned $700,640. He won three Grade 3 events and finished second in the SF Mile in 2005. |

A shame.
From TT. No author listed..... Rest in peace, little one. Hopeful candidate Rajjaas euthanized Promising two-year-old colt Rajjaas was euthanized on Tuesday after breaking a leg in a workout at Saratoga Race Course. Trainer Kiaran McLaughlin and owner-breeder Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid al Maktoum's Shadwell Stable were considering the Elusive Quality colt out of Ridaa, by Seattle Slew, for the Hopeful Stakes (G1) on September 4 at Saratoga Race Course. In his only start, Rajjaas won a 5 ½-furlong maiden race by 1 ¼ lengths on August 9 at Saratoga. "Kiaran was going to work him three-eighths so we could have him ready should we decide to run him [in the Hopeful], but it didn't quite work out," Shadwell Vice President Rick Nichols said. "When you do have a nice one, it's special, and that's what hurts so bad. One, he was a homebred, and two, he had so much potential. To get something good like that and then to lose it, it really hurts." Sanford Stakes (G2) winner Scat Daddy and Bashford Manor Stakes (G3) winner Circular Quay are expected for the Hopeful, along with Irish Ace, Pegasus Wind, and Unbridled Express. Pegasus Wind worked five furlongs in 1:00.27 on Wednesday on a sloppy Oklahoma track.—Jeff Lowe |

Two More Breakdowns
By Hank Wesch UNION-TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER September 7, 2006 Two horses that were injured during training sessions (at Del Mar) Tuesday and yesterday morning were euthanized, raising the fatality total for the meeting to 18. On Tuesday, 2-year-old filly Lovely Lagoon, trained by Mike Marlow, fractured bones in her right front leg. Lovely Lagoon had one career start, a victory on April 12 at Santa Anita. Yesterday, Lock And Key, a 4-year-old filly trained by Ben Cecil, fractured sesamoid and cannon bones in the right front leg while working out on the Jimmy Durante Turf Course. Lock and Key won her last start, an allowance race on Aug. 19, and was entered and scratched from Saturday's Palomar Handicap. They were the seventh and eighth fatal breakdowns during morning workouts. Ten horses died from injuries incurred in afternoon races. Rest in peace. |

A sad day for Godolphin.
Rest in peace, Royal Proposal. From Sky Sports... no author listed. DETTORI SURVIVES SPILL Tuesday 10th October 2006 Frankie Dettori suffered an up-and-down day at Leicester on Tuesday afternoon despite the easy victory of Glen Nevis. The Italian was aboard 2/7 shot Life in the opening maiden but the once-raced colt faded out of contention in the closing stages as 25/1 outsider Maid To Believe took the honours. Glen Nevis, trained like Life by Jeremy Noseda, took the second division with the minimum fuss at odds of 4/9 but disaster struck for the jockey in the ladbrokescasino.com Fillies' conditions Stakes. His mount Royal Proposal, who was running in the colours of Godolphin for the first time, slipped going down to the start suffering a life-ending injury in the process. Dettori was able to walk away from the incident as he watched stablemate Pure Illusion provide scant compensation for the yard when repelling Air Biscuit under Martin Dwyer. |
