You can see the pre race incidents and the race here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3NLk2uOhwY When they walk Maldavian back to the saddling area you can see the blood on his neck. You also can see the jock thrown backwards when the horse reared up the second time in the gate.

* * * Damn. Maybe Better May Be In Doubt Story By Chris Scholtz Sunday, 21 October 2007: The fallout from Saturday's dramatic Caulfield Cup continues with Maybe Better reported to be lame and in doubt for the remainder of the spring. Maybe Better was found to be lame in the off foreleg and is to undergo treatment before trainer Brian Mayfield-Smith can determine his immediate program. Mayfield-Smith said the gelding had soreness in a joint but is hoping the setback will have only a minimum impact on his Melbourne Cup preparation. Maybe Better was third in last year's Melbourne Cup but failed to enhance his prospects for this year's race when he failed to finish off Saturday's Caulfield Cup as expected. He finished ninth with his rider Corey Brown reporting that the gelding race dour and lacked a kick at the finish. Caulfield Cup late scratching Eskimo Queen has stitches in a cheek and leg abrasions but her trainer Mike Moroney is hoping she will be fit to start in the $3 million Tattersalls W.S. Cox Plate at Moonee Valley on Saturday in a bid to get her program back on track for a Melbourne Cup start. He is leaning to a Cox Plate start over the Mackinnon Stakes at Flemington on Saturday week as the lead-up she now needs before the Melbourne Cup on November 6. Maldivian's trainer Mark Kavanagh has reiterated that the gelding would not race again this spring to give him time to recover from the trauma of the neck injury he suffered at Caulfield on Saturday. A piece of television sound equipment attached to the barrier framework is believed to caused Maldivian's injury when he lunged upwards and cut his neck. The device was found to have traces of blood and horse hair and is in the possession of the stewards.

sorry if this sounds strong but man this is crap anyone who knows anything about racing knows maybe better has never preformed to expectation except for last years melbourne cup & that was a surprise ,lets face it Maybe better is a Has been but never was !! The Alan Gore Of racing or maybe in aussie terms John howards Costello,dont get me wrong i had alot of time for him lets face it in this time of big fat trainers with 300 horses apiece it was great to see a horse that came out of a 2k dollar stallion, But the facts are laid bare maybe better didnt step up to the plate & only dounuts think he was a chance
RIP MAYBE BETTER
