Lovely Syn, the undefeated New York-bred 3-year-old filly who suffered a career-ending injury at Belmont Park on Saturday, underwent successful surgery Sunday, and the hope is she can become a broodmare.

So now it's basically fingers crossed that no laminitis develops, but sounds good. She's got a striking face. Such a shame she didn't have a chance to get graded earnings. I say breed her like she had'em. This is one of those situations where a mare's foals go on to do big things and people write about the dam's promising career cut short. Tiznow wouldn't be a bad option if they don't mind inbreeding to Seattle Slew. The cross of Storm Cat-line mares with Tiznow has led to Folklore, Tiz Wonderful, and American Lion.
