Default Springside

This really, really ticks me off about the sport - the blatent pretending and ignoring that something happened to Springside after the wire (I'm watching the track feed at home)

How about at least a little, "splinted and taken off in the ambulance"? If she's being euthanized on track, how about "being attended to on track" or at least some other euphanism?

Completely ignoring it happened - especially in a stakes race - doesn't cut it in this day and age.

Anybody there know what happened to her?

Andy - you guys should have said something prior to the next race.
