RIP Nashoba's Key
 

I just got some terrible news. Nashoba's Key died in a freak accident this morning at Hollywood Park. She was in her outdoor pen and she was a little excited and kicked the fence. She got her leg stuck in the fence and broke it badly. They had to put her down.

That really sucks.

RIP

wow that really does suck

RIP

brutal game sometimes

that's terrible... poor girl. RIP

Awful....what a business.

Feel terrible for Carla Gaines.. Very sad..

wow. just horrible.

Horrible, just horrible.

That's horrific.

Did the pen have cushion track?

Where's Sumitas when we need him for commentary?

Very sad news.....

Damn...My condolences go out to the connections. R.I.P. Girl...

Just a terrible shame, come to the computer to listen to ATR, and find this awful news.
Very, very sad indeed...RIP beautiful girl.

got a knot in my stomach, RIP beautiful girl

What can you say? This game is just gut wrenching sometimes. Condolences to all the connections.

That just sucks. I had the pleasure of meeting her connections at the Breeders Cup. What very nice people, my condolences go out to them.

what a punch in the gut this news is. I really liked this one.

How long before PETA calls for fines? perhaps total elimination of fences?

Maybe they could pickett and boycott Home Depot!

Maybe they could picket against picket (fences!).

I'll show myself out..

R.I.P. Nashoba's Key, and condolenes to the connections. Must have been a terrible sight.

Horrible news. RIP Nashoba's Key. My condolenses go out to everyone associated with her.

Isn't there anybody else that is asking a few more questions about this one....was there some kind of unusal circumstance that caused this?

Obviously my heartfelt prayers to her connections for their loss...

PETA where are you?

A lot of horses seem to die in freak accidents..

They are probably in the process of examining how they can best profit from this right now.

If I was a bookmaker, my PETA reaction betting line as to why she kicked her stall might look like this ...


Roid Rage (-180)

A prankster told NK that Gabby Saez would be her jockey next out. (+140)

She was incredible on synthetics

in fact I believe she finished undefeated on synth

Geez, Freddy, she's dead.

Aren't there enough living mediocrities for you to piss on at least for a couple of days?

You are very right I deleted my horrible post..

Maybe St Liam and Nashoba's Key will be bred together in heaven... The resulting foal will race under the name Stumble Bum

RIP Nashoba's Key. This game is tough sometimes.

i'm sure they can dig up an animal psychologist that would make the case that the fence kicking was no doubt a symptom of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder caused by use of the whip during racing.

I don't understand why people feel the need to joke around with a horse that has just passed away....

R.I.P.

:( Will miss watching her run. R.I.P sweet girl.

Because insensitive pricks have no perception of situations or circumstances and thus continue to be, well, insensitive pricks.

That's awful......
 

:( Very sad for Carla Gaines, condolences to all involved.
RIP

These horses run for our enjoyment....when terrible things happen to them I don't know what goes thru someone's head to make stupid comments and jokes about the poor horse....seems like lately this message board has been more of someone trying to top someone else's stupid ****ing joke (which there are counts pages of them) rather then a horse racing board

Yeah, Freddy lost me when he named SL and NK's foal 'Stumble Bum'

:(

I really don't know. I still don't know exactly what happened. I was told that she got her leg caught in the fence. But the articles I read say that she simply kicked it. Either way, I don't know if there would have been any way to prevent it. I think it was probably just a freak accident. If something scares a horse and they get excited, they can hurt themselves very badly.

What a shame.

Deepest condolences to her connections.

I hope so... I actually thought on Liam when I heard the news. So tragic.
