I had no idea, awful, awful ....

Whoever hears news of Teuef, please post asap. What an honest, hard-trying colt.

Early word: fractured both sesamoids per Jeanine Edwards/ESPN, not compound (no skin broken) x-rays due.

Teuflesberg is at Rood and Riddle now.

Crap they just said a maintenance work got his foot run over by the ambulance. Geez.

Very very sad race. I pray Tberg is ok. He tries so hard.

Sesamoid injury to the front left leg. Ambulanced off of Keeneland's grounds, headed to Rood + Riddle Equine Hospital. The fracture did not puncture the skin. VERY good thing.

I take it right now our big concern is blood supply?

Riot · #6 10-06-2007, 04:06 PM

Need rads, need extent of soft tissue damage ....

They are reporting multiple fractures of the sesamoid (though I dont know who has the xray eyes)
Multiple is a very bad word as the sesamoid is a fairly small bone

Tberg was a steward scratch on 9/15 at Turfway. Now Jeanine Edwards reports that people at Keeneland were saying he did not look like his old self recently. It appears Sanders will be under heavy scrutiny because of this event. She has been heavily criticized on this board throughout the career of Tberg.

A stewards scratch is much different than a vet scratch

How much difference is there? I see how the vet can stratch a horse; he is right there looking at it. How (and what reasons) would a steward stratch a horse?

Also, really sad to hear about Dream of Angels. Feelings go out to the horse and his connections.

Hope Teuflesberg turns out okay.

There a lot of reasons, owner, trainer not licensed, foal papers not on file, wrong shoes, ownership disputes, late to paddock, late shipping, etc.
