Colic maybe? She was too quiet.

colic or if they gave her milk shake or some other type of fluids to cause some type of imbalanece in her system

You could see that sthe was splinting her abdomen. there was a sharp line of demarcation all along her ventral body.


I have worked the gate asa vet for 25 years and all the jock had to say is look at me.. I saw it from far away

I saw that too. Poor thing. Something didn't agree with her.

If anyone gets an update on LAT please let us know. After running around the track like that while she clearly felt like hell, it would be nice to know that she'll be ok.

Pletcher said she may have had a bad reaction to Lasix or the lights were bothering her or a combo. They should have scratched her. People who placed a bet on her have a right to be angry.

A really screwed up day of racing.

The trainer and the jockey should have jointly scratched her if they felt she wasn't 100% right. Nothing like putting the welfare of the horse first.

Quite a day for the Breeders Cup. Fights, DQ'S, and a unsound horse at 7/2 running in the finale. What next?

Let's not forget the gate crew loading the horses in the wrong gates.

What happened today IS NOT going to bring in new fans.

Definitely a tough situation for JV. I thought he handled it as well as possible, though it was quite clear the horse shouldn't have won.

EDIT - shouldn't have RUN, not won.

Don't forget the dimwits that loaded most of the juvy filly turf field in the wrong gates and they had to back them all out
