GLoriously was a special filly from the first day we started breaking her a couple of years ago. She had overcome so Much adversity. The set backs she had incurred during her career are things that just don't happen every day. Just to mention one. She had a puncture wound on her hock that went into the Joint and was in the clinic for a week to 10 days. and for a few days there we did not think she was going to make it but she did She was one tough filly.
In fact she was with us here in Ocala at the OBS training center up until we sent her to SA a couple of weeks ago. SHe was training better than at any point in her career leading up to todays race.
And to experience the 2 emotions today Going from "SHes Going to Win"
too Utter shock when She went down...
RIP Girl were going to Miss You.

Thank you for taking the time to let us know. It was one of those instances that make all of us question what we do. My thoughts and prayers go to all of her connections but specifically to her groom/hot walker and you. Obviously you all trained her well and I am sure she knew of the love you shared in this note.
