"Trainer Mike Mitchell said at the time that Thorn Song, the son of Unbridled's Song, was unlikely to make the Breeders' Cup, where he had been a leading contender for the Mile. "It's a small chance," Mitchell told the Form."

ummmm....small chance eh? Did Mitchell think he could get Thorn Song to rise from the dead?

How did he die anyway? From the foot abscess?

Just a curiosity, where there BC Future Bets made on this horse after the day he died? If there were, shouldn't Zayat be charged with fraud because of this? He had inside information, that his horse was dead. If this occurred in the stock market, he would have been in taken care already.
