Pine Island Euthanized

[The Bid]

No doubt Balletto, the only thing you dont want to see on a grand day of racing.

Shug says she was a barn pet.Had a ton of personality.Man,that's some wicked thing that happened today.

Remember when Exogenous died on the way to the track. I was watching it and couldn't believe it. This is worse.

OMG yes! She was my pick for the race. She was a very talented girl. I always thought it was sad irony that her dam's name was "Tangled Up in Blue"... she was sadly tangled in the railings when she flipped.

I always have a fondness for Shug's horses and really enjoyed watching this one run as she helped me big time at the windows but that is beside the fact. Just a beautiful stride and a horse who definetly would have been a factor today if healthy and down the road. Just a shame.

Yeah, Feel bad for the Phipps and Shug. They are one of my all time favorite outfits and they do things in a very classy way. Pine Island was such a nice filly.

Isn't it strange how fate works with this tragic race on the big stage being won by Matz and Prado?

seems like the distaff is a cursed race, Go For Wand, Exogenous, Pine Island
all three were the stars of the race...damn shame

I'll remember her with that big low stride and raw boned body coming down the strecth...I'll never forget the first time time I saw her at Saratoga...I thought she was beautiful in her very own way.

Thoughts to the Phipps & Shug.

I've been at a dressage clinic all day and just got home. Decided to watch the replays without knowing the results. I didn't bet and didn't really care that much who won what. As I told my friend, the only horse I was really rooting for was,,,you guessed it...Pine Island. I currently only have 2 horses in my watch stable and she was one of them. As soon as I finished the replay, I clicked here and saw this thread. It's just too much.

I'll never watch the Distaff again. As someone here already said, it is a cursed race.

This stuff is sickening at times. One moment, they are competing for a championship, the next, they are put down.

RIP baby girl....what a game filly she was

[PSH]

What should have been a great day for our sport....
Pine Island, what a beautiful and talented animal....
The lows in this game will make one forget the highs fairly quickly.

Rest In Peace Pine Island.

I will miss you.....
