He apparently forgets about Suave Queen. Off two years, she drops from $65,000 (in 2006 debut at Belmont) to $20,000 at Saratoga; wins by 5 lengths and then is vanned off.

Did they have to put that horse down? I believe Dutrow was talking about catastrophic injuries where the horse has to be euthanized.

With as many horses as he has, if it is true that he has only had one horse break down in the afternoon in the last 7 years, that is an excellent record. He's probably run a few thousand horses in the last 7 years.

Not sure if Suave Queen was put down, but I was the track that day, and it did not look good when she was pulled up on the clubhouse turn. According to her PPs, she has never raced again.

More: thankfully, she was not put down. According to Breeders' Cup site, she produced a foal this spring by Flower Alley.
