Lake also seems to be spending a lot more time in Pennsylvania these days.
ETA Granted, that's where he got his start, but still, he seems to be every where in the mid-Atlantic.

If her goal was to make racing news, then she accomplished that. The folks in Colorado who pretended their toddler floated off in a homemade balloon have set the bar low for those seeking to make a news splash.

Ill be expecting some backlash here but am I the only one that would of liked to see that horse run yesterday? I campaigned a 12yr old 10 years ago and he won 10 of 24 races for me albeit not off a 9yr layoff. Tons of heart and loved to run at his old age. Horses will let you know if they dont want to run anymore.
This horse had been training at a center and had 3 published works. Whats the problem?

There are alot of old timers still going at 10+ but not mares that have been pasture puffs after several years of difficult pregnancies. The person who gave her the horse did so under the express order that she was to be a riding horse. This is why I think that there should be a "retired" status, meaning "this horse cannot race again."

As a former racing offical I commend the stewards, but considering the history of the horse, the entry should not have been taken UNTIL a state vet had been informed and had an opporunity to see the horse train. There needs to be communication between the race office, state vets, stewards to avoid these types of incidences.
In many years past, we had quite a few RESPONSIBLE trainers that would approch us with a horse that had been on a long lay off and ask if we would like to observe one of the horse's works before they entered. When Costello cried "I can not afford to bring her all the way here and not run her" is so typical of the "gyp' trainer mentality. When this young lady began to cry in public and her companion yell and berate a racing offical it just shows the "no clue" factor that these people have concerning the serious nature of preparing a horse properly, ensuring the welfare of their horse as well as the other entrants.

but surely someone as smart as this girl seems to be could manage to find a way?  seriously tho....she asked them for the necessary papers, and lied to get them-they certainly seem to have grounds to prove she was given the horse with certain criteria such as no racing. why else would she have said it was for an event? she certainly wasn't bragging to them that their former mare was suddenly 'race ready'.
