Did she say this before her other 4 races this year? Like AJ said a breakdown redboard.

The autoposy made it very clear why
they put her down so quickly. Very
sickening, bone penetration...

I was certain she had a heart attack
as she was not moving when I first saw her.

did she study all of the Derby runners pedigree? Any others have RAISE A NATIVE three times in their pedigree? Does she have numbers of the percentages of this cross that breakdown? I doubt it, her analysis is worth a good wipe to her.

A very informative article, dialogue was needed and you just hope someone will listen...it's a start and maybe something good can come out of Eight Belles death, it just isn't right what happened to her. We need all angles examined.

if all 20 horses are descended from native dancer, the cause celebre of all things wrong with the thoroughbred today, why didn't she just say 'i hope none of them break down'? why just the filly? but then, she wouldn't have been considered quite as prescient, and there wouldn't be as much drama in the article...
