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.

I also was listening for an update....but have heard nothing so far

Didn't look catastrophic, fortunately - but a little acknowledgement and show of concern would go far to making the public think that this sport gives a damn about the horses' welfare.
