The 4x5 Raise A Native is never a cross for soundness . That and the hard surface was a recipe for disaster . Hope the other runners on the card are ok .

I think that statement is way too broad.I could probably look in the form tomorrow and find 10 horses on any given card who are bred 3-5x3-5 to Raise A Native. I could never prove how sound any of them are but my point is that breeding is so common I'm sure there have to be some who are sound.It is no different than judging a horses distance ability based only on breeding and ignoring his on track performance.
Too bad about Dunkirk.I know it's easy to say these things happen but it does.At least it didn't occur on the track in front of everyone watching.
