I dont know this horses lifetime earnings. But i bet hes emassed more vet and clinic bills the last 2 years. Knowing most clinics, they will come up with some off the wall diagnosis and give the owners some hope of recovery. Im sure glad i'm not involved with that horse. It must be so frustratimg watching him train sound and aggressive in the am and show nothing in the afternoon.
I too agree with Rupert that you really can't criticize Ellis so harshly. We in the business have been around numerous horses that will actually make us look and feel like idiots at times..Hope they can figure out something. Im sure theyve lost sleep over this one...

there may not be anything physically wrong. horse got injured--he might not ever come back the same. it happens. he might not be willing to extend himself anymore.

i have to agree with you,not knowing the horses history & only going on the run in utube he looked like he didnt want to let down, he did hang in & recieve a knock just before he was meant to let down & might even be one of those weak hearted buggers that just give up if there is any trouble. I wouldnt put him as a bleeder as usually they go backwards like a shot cannon once the pressure goes on.
