I assume any last ditch efforts to fix her problems will be no more - and she will be retired as a broodmare.
She's by Forestry out of a multiple Graded Stakes winning mare - she worked an 1/8th in 10 flat at a 2yo sale - and clearly had talent and pedigree to go along with real soundness issues.
It looks like they tried to piece her together and get her some soft blacktype to round out her broodmare resume ... instead all they got was a bad drug test out of the deal.

Interesting point. When people suggest that breeders might want to seek change in the drug rules of the sport, consider that Asmussen has been retained to train horses in the past year for Gainesway, Vinery, Jess Jackson (Stonestreet) and Farish (Lane's End).
