I hope this isn't an obviously stupid question but given how many things can go wrong with horses (see Wanderin Boy) that don't keep them from returning to the track, are they planning on giving her plenty of time off and then trying again or is this the kind of deal where she's gonna be bred at age 3? I just noticed that nobody that I'd seen quoted had said one way or the other so I wondered if I either missed it or it was clear to everyone but me. I saw she had multiple fractures and nothing about 'career ending' which they usually put out there in the articles.

like cannon said, i seriously doubt a return to racing. right now the biggest worry is infection, and then i'd imagine laminitis. as someone else wrote, it's akin to barbaros battle.
i doubt she gets bred this year, she'll be touch and go for a while-and it is already december. maybe the following spring-here's hoping she makes it.

as for where i read it-most likely bloodhorse, perhaps the print version.
