Prolly need to get over it

Fair point Dan, but this was a 2 million dollar race in the national spotlight and not some horse making a plunge for 10k. It's a diservice either way, but if it happens on a Wednesday night at Penn National you're not that suprised, but when it happens in the feature on day one of the Breeders Cup there is something wrong. I think it would be easier to swallow if the vets checked her out at the gate, but with the way it went down and her not running a step, all that happened was that bettors got screwed in a big way.
Thankfully it did seem like she will be okay.
