Today was just too much for me to take. I've finally been convinced. Keeneland needs to install Polytrack.

hope teuflesberg pulls thru ok, but multiple fractures....damn, not good.
he certainly can't help the train wreck he was a part of. much as sanders got blasted here, i know the horse was never a part of that. hoping for the best for him. as for the horse flipping in the paddock, i don't see how anyone can point a finger at keeneland for that. that's just a freak thing that happens with a highstrung horse.

Well, the lead story on the local NBC Lexington affiliate news at 11:00pm was about "two horses dying at Keeneland today". They showed video of Dream of Angels in the paddock (the horse wasn't seen, just all the people holding up the tarps around the poor horse), had quotes from the attending vet regarding the severity of injury and how easy it is for a horse to suffer severe injury falling, interviewed a few female race fans who were at the paddock when that happened (crying); showed video of Gold Train pulling up in the race and reporting the euthanasia; and showed the video of Teufelsburg being pulled up in his race, and the ambulance taking him off. They mentioned Keeneland has grass and rubber bricks in the paddock for horse safety, and polytrack.
They reported Teuf was taken to Rood and Riddle, "where he is to have surgery next week to fuse broken bones in both his front legs". Believe it or not, with all that, it wasn't sensationalized, it was very sad and very respectful of the horses. They treated it as they do when there's a bad car accident with deaths.

Very, very sad news about T-berg. I'm wishing him the best. I might even call Rood and Riddle myself tomorrow morning. But jesus Christ, this is funny. |
