While I'm not in the business, nor do I pretend to be, (and no I'm not a member of the owners website) I have had the pleasure of being around Round Pond on more than one ocassion and she was/is a special horse. When I listened to people talk about her it was a double edged sword. On one hand the discussion would be around her unlimited ability and the other hand it was discussion about her being as fragile as she was. I don't think she has been right since the Azeri last year when she dueled Happy Ticket from gate to wire. Hopefully she is in for a full recovery and will pass down that talent for many years to come.
