Laminitis from post-surgical infection takes Intense Holiday
 

Brutal. From hot Derby buzz horse to dead in under 6 weeks..

Thats a shame...

Very sad.:(

Really devastated for the horse and his connections. So tragic. :(

Saw Jack Wolf Thursday and he said the colt had gone wrong post-surgery. Called it 50-50 then. Between him and Bond Holder, some very bad luck on this front.

Condolences to his connections.

So many sad tales as of late..

That sucks. I'm so sorry for his connections. RIP, and may we some day sooner rather than later discover an effective treatment for laminitis. It's taken so many good horses.

All sorts of bad luck with this. First was thought he could have surgery then come back. Then it was worse than thought and he's retired. Now he's gone.

Would have been a nice regional prospect, especially with the loss of Harlan's Holiday.

That's so awful.

Haskin's thoughts:http://cs.bloodhorse.com/blogs/horse...-too-many.aspx

i have to say that when i saw his injury, my first thought was of the oneill horse that had the plane issues, and everything went wrong after.
damn, hate to see another lost to laminitis. it takes too many

Punch to the gut here............my Derby selection, now gone. Feel terrible for the connections. RIP. Laminitis is just a terrible condition.

Heartbreaking. I'm so sorry for his people.

just heard....terrible news, condolences to the connections, rest in peace Champ..
