What ever happened to, part cinq

[Indian Charlie]

Crossing the Line made his long awaited return to the races last month MMSC.

He made two starts. One for 32k, the other for 40k. He ran like crap.

Diamond Stripes has been working steadily at PmM.

Thank you and yeah I stupidly didn't look through this thread and so didn't notice the old Crossing the Line post (doh!) but thanks for the Diamond Stripes news.

Exceptional Ride is another who I can't find anywhere. Not a world beater but i liked him. Any idea?

Very happy to see We Can Seek (!!!!!) is alright.

Thanks for checking. He really didn't look good those last few times... hope he's somewhere nice anyway and that he has a long life.

Ummm someone told me there's something about Zada Belle on another forum. I was wondering if anyones heard anything lately?

I looked around, can't find a thing.

I believe she broke down in a race in NY in 2009. Haven't heard anything since.

What did you hear?

I added her to the angels list.

I noticed that Zada Belle has a full sister named Cofachiqui that's 2 this year if anybody wants to keep up with her. I did some searches, and all I came up with is that ZB was sent to Rood and Riddle for surgery. http://www.thoroughbredtimes.com/rac...nd-Riddle.aspx How did we find out she was euthanized? Kinda sad nobody in the media followed up to see how things went. I guess the circulation must've been compromised, but who knows. It was a medial sesamoid fracture. Of course we don't want to forget about laminitis as a possibility in situations like this.

Has anyone heard anything on Sterling Heat (Aqueduct, last week)? Any news is appreciated.

[letswastemoney]

That is a good field. It could pass as a G3

[chucklestheclown]

GRASSHOPPER? What are his odds? 3/5? Didn't Gentleman James run last week?
