I'm trying to rescue a race horse

[Scav]

Just a quick update because DC is busy. I spoke with the actual vet of the horse today and it possible that there is a sesamoid issue now. What is also amazing that while I have spoken to the racing secretary and assistant racing secretary, and had the assistant racing secretary broker the deal because the f'n trainer wouldn't answer his phone yesterday, the 2nd the vet went over to xray the horse, on DC's dime, the trainer of the horse was calling my phone number wanting more money, wanting to know who is paying for the horse now(his day rate) and all money upfront.

We are not out of the woods yet and probably won't know more until later today

Maybe if you share his phone number with us and we all call him hundreds of time we can make a difference....well, maybe after things are settled

That trainer in Nebraska is such a selfish b*stard it makes me see red! Makes me want to fly out there right this minute and swiftly bury my foot in his butt.

Thanks, Tom. I'm praying Nopie is okay.

We'll see. Quite honestly I understand his viewpoint, but just trying to find that middle ground that everyone is comfortable with.

The word that I got that he was okay, was given banamine(?) and will be getting bute tabs today. He is weight bearing and bedded down heavily.

The vet will be reporting back to me for when he thinks the horse will be ok to be shipped.

LOL, good you're talking to him, Tom, because I'm sure I'd go off on him, which probably wouldn't bode well for ole Nopie. Well, it sounds like he might be okay. That's a big relief. Talk about a rollercoaster ride. Don't think I need any more syrup and tears, but a two-finger pour of Woodford Reserve might go down well.
