Aw that's too bad. Thanks for finding out, Old Dog.

Ummm has anyone heard anything about Riskaverse cause there's talk on another forum...

... and this (... and it's over a year old)...

"She's extremely well-bred, she's by Galileo out of Riskaverse, who's now sadly dead, so she's got a superb pedigree."

Mistake?

"St Nicholas Abbey suffered a serious career ending injury at Ballydoyle this morning, vets are currently attending to him.

We hope to save him for a career at stud, a further update will be posted later."

“Chernobyl’s Hero” to race for children in need at Aquaduct


Orphan Horse to Race For Orphan Children

Colt will run to benefit Chernobyl Children’s Project International

Like many other young Thoroughbreds, Chernobyl’s Hero will start his racing career this winter at Aqueduct, but he will be no ordinary colt in his maiden race – he will carry with him the hopes of thousands of children who continue to be affected by the Chernobyl nuclear disaster of 1986. Karakorum Racing’s president Bill DiScala is contributing a quarter of the earnings of his home-bred colt in a unique move to benefit the work of Chernobyl Children’s Project International (CCPI).

DiScala’s support of CCPI began several years ago after seeing the charity featured in the Academy Award winning film “Chernobyl Heart.” Karakorum became a sponsor of the charity but DiScala wanted to do more to raise both awareness and funds for the children of Chernobyl. According to DiScala, “I decided when the right horse came along, I would get them a racehorse.”

When DiScala saw the way the 2004 Cryptoclearance colt out of his foundation mare Karakorum’s Lisa had developed, he knew that this one was the ‘right horse’. Unfortunately, the colt is Karakorum Lisa’s last surviving foal, as the broodmare was killed by a freak lightning strike in 2005 while standing in a field with her 2005 weanling. DiScala feels that it is fitting that the Cryptoclearance colt, who is in a real sense an orphan, will run for the children of Chernobyl, who all too often are orphans themselves.

Kathy Ryan, US Executive Director of CCPI, sees the donation as a fun and unique way to raise both funds and awareness for the challenges faced by Chernobyl survivors. “Twenty years after the disaster at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, the plight of the survivors has literally dropped from the headlines – but the health, medical and social support needs of so many, especially children, have not gone away. Many of those children are without families and come from communities that are still devastated by the disaster.”

According to DiScala, “I truly believe that this horse -- Chernobyl’s Hero -- will be an ambassador of goodwill and hope for the future, from the United States to the children of Chernobyl.” And his hopes are high: the colt’s sire, Cryptoclearance, has foals who include Belmont Stakes winner Victory Gallop, Breeders’ Cup Classic winner Volponi, and many other significant winners of Grade and Group 1 stakes, such as Millennium Wind and Crypto Star. Cryptoclearance himself won many Grade 1 stakes, was second in the Belmont Stakes and the Travers Stakes, and 3rd in the Preakness, earning well over $3 million in the process.

Chernobyl Children’s Project International is a non- profit organization based in the United States and Ireland that provides community development, medical and humanitarian aid programs to children and families affected by the Chernobyl nuclear disaster of 1986. Karakorum Racing (www.karakorum.com) is based in New York and provides racing fans with affordable Thoroughbred horseracing partnerships.

Hope they're both okay.

Very upset adding this name here and hopefully he's okay.

Thanks MMSC....just got to watch the W-Man this season and enjoyed the races he was in and cashed a few tickets. So glad to see the "ole" boy :tro: is going to be okay.

My friends who live up there say that no matter where he'd finish, first or last, he would get applause after every race. :)

I'm sorry I never got to see him race in person but would imagine he'd be made an ambassador or pony or something at Emerald.

I doubt we've seen the last of him!

Thought I would ask again today about Riskaverse.

Anyone?

Victorious Leader, who has had several instances of DNF, bled, pulled-up etc. in his running lines, was vanned off. :(

i looked and looked when she was mentioned before, but found nothing.

Thst's a shame. Can't find anything... hopefully no news is good news.

Thanks for looking too. Strange, isn't it?

Hope it was a mistake.

Figured I would stick this here for anyone (else) who was wondering about Alonso Quinonez and Julien Couton...

Does anyone know anything about the condition of 4YO Winter's Coming who was pulled up and vanned off at Gulfstream in today's 7th race? He's in David Fawkes' barn, ridden by Joe Bravo. Any info would be appreciated.

I can't find anything (hopefully no news is...) and so wrote to the one person I could think of who might be able to get an answer.

Will let you know whatever / whenever I hear back.

Hope he's okay.

Impressive work for Candy Boy for next week's Lewis, 5f in 59.80 with @HRTVGary. Scary moment post work dodging injured horse. Candy Boy OK

Santa Anita ~ Race 6

Chippette

Was pulled up past the middle part of the bend but did walk off. This came after Chippette broke a bit awkwardly and was then bumped between horses, according to the Equibase race chart. She had been claimed out of that race, but that claim was voided due to unsoundness, according to Steve Andersen of the Daily Racing Form. Therefore, Chippette was returned to the barn of Peter Miller.

Santa Anita ~ Race 7

Quotient

Quotient was vanned off after the race. Quotient finished 2nd but did not return to be unsaddled. Andersen did announce on Twitter that Quotient was brought back to John Sadler's barn, according to the stewards.

It's a Bang, who was "pulled up in apparent distress and walked off" at Delaware Saturday. Any info would be appreciated.

Not following Dubai anymore but saw a tweet about Cavalryman who I was a huge fan of back in his pre-Godolphin days... hope we'll get some good news.

Please post if anyone hears...

Thanks.

Gone. :(

I hate rumors but this has been bugging me all night... anyone heard anything on (name deleted)?

Thanks in advance and do not mean to startle anyone... I am just asking as, in a parallel universe, it was mentioned.

Edited out the name because I feel terrible even asking.... I think someone on Twitter must have been mistaken.

Mr. Top Kat

5/17 Race 8 @ Emerald Downs.

Had the crap beat out of him to win the race and pulled up with an apparent broken leg.

Anyone have info? This is the second time I have read this in the past five days...
