Default Princess Arabella hurt?
Had a friend mention to me that he heard she got hurt, but I cannot find anything to verify that, other than her workout pattern. She raced in early January, worked on 1/12 and then 1/20.

Has anyone heard anything?

I haven't heard anything.

The one I'm looking for news on is Deluxe cause there have been rumors... can't find a thing on either girl.

I think it's likely Deluxe is hurt, or retired, based on her form.

I really was hoping Princess Arabella would last at least 3-4 starts before the wheels fall off, but...

Her lone start was the most impressive maiden win by a filly that I can recall since R2R (2nd start) or Zenyatta.

Such a shame. I wonder what happened to her. She's the only Storm Cat-Hasili offspring. Obviously no more of those possible.

That should buy us at least another 10 days before the next thread about her whereabouts.

I checked all of the usual sites for workouts today, nothing until now.

Easy big fella. As I did mention, I was told by someone that he'd heard she was hurt.

Just for that Byk, I'm going to ask where she is every 9th day, before her scheduled workout.

I apologize for overreacting. At least it was in keeping with the spirit of the thread, though.

In retrospect, this thread had it all. A gush about an A.P. Indy-related runner, a (unsubstantiated) death notice via MMSC, bad "insider" info, a Facebook reference, a squabble between posters, a trophy emoticon, Zenyatta, and a resounding lack of accountability when the truth emerges.

The only things missing to complete the DT microcosm were a photo from Coach, a pubmed link from Riot, and an incoherent x-rated analysis from freddymo.

Thanks, M. I heard this about a week ago and that it wasn't exactly new news but I never could find anything.

Too bad. She was a nice horse.

It seemed an appropriate place to ask though. I've wanted to ask but didn't want to create a big problem and upset anyone.

(I did think some of your comments were funny though).

It was the way he delivered it that made it so.. pithy.

Yeah, I know. I didn't really take either Rollo or you personally.

However, now I really am going to gush exuberantly over this filly when given the chance.

That debut really was spectacular.

I agree 100% You just don't see many firsters win like that, no matter who the competition.

Though just a few races into her glorious career Princess Arabella might have raced again during 2012 had she not sustained a hind-end injury while training. She hurt her hind end late in morning training hours when another horse – one of only a couple out on the track at the time – ducked in sharply from the outside fence and slammed into Princes Arabella, who was in the midst of a routine gallop.

The Tarras owners will remain part-owners of her as a stallion, and she will stand for a fee of $7,500.
Thanks for the update. I look forward to seeing her at stud.

She's a transgendered TB? Wow. Sorry, I guess I should say "he."
