Back to the sponge, It's a good thing McLaughlin and those connections aren't the shaddiest people in the game - or they could always say they found one in Daaher and he's being retired from the damages caused by it. However, they'd still have to explain his Fort Erie loss. |
The strong odor that Golden Velvet’s handlers noticed indicated that the deterioration of the sponge was well under way when the sponge was discovered, the release said. Investigators say there is no way of determining when or where the mare was sponged.
This really sucks. It smelled so bad that bacteria and fungus were giving off a foul odor. Poor animal had to go through that crap. That could have lead to a very bad infection.
