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.

I would love to know how much money was bet on her in all of the pools combined. Those thieves took the public's money like a stimulus bill.

Good thoughts for Life At Ten. It sure would be a permanent black eye on horse racing if anything happened to her. Even if she comes out of this 100% A OK, it's still going to be hard to explain why they let her run. Poor baby.

Yup, definitely an echo or invisible ink.

The tone of the ESPN coverage just prior to the race was that they could not believe that she was not scratched or at least looked over by the gate Vet just prior to the race. Johnny V said clearly, when interviewed during the warmups, that she was not "acting right".

Can you imagine the media circus that would have taken place? Politicians would be stepping over one another to punish the racing industry.

Not just tickets on LAT in question. My friend and I played a tri and super based on a potentially sharp pace. We were at a simulcast and didn't get to see or hear the pre race because we were in line to bet. Our bet assumed that LAT would be involved in the pace and set up a kickers race. When LAT looked like an old lesson horse out of the gate we were both stunned. When the splits were posted we knew we were in deep weeds. When Acoma was sitting third, I was cooked. Whether betting on her or against her, people playing the race had the right to fit and sound participants. Everyone in all the pools in that race had to have figured a 7/2 mare with high early speed as a factor in the race, even if they bet against her. As a multi-race player, I had no way to know before the prior races that there was concern about Life At Ten.

She stumbled twice in the post parade while JRV was trying to get her to warm up a little.
Watching it again - it reminded me of the time my ear drum broke. I could barely keep my balance doing anything more than a walk. She didn't seem to have very good balance when JRV attempted to warm her up.

TP also said in the post-race that LAT was not quite right when being saddled - "she almost seemed sedated" - He said that he wanted Johnny V "to really warm her up".
So IMO when she didn't respond, the onus was on the jockey to inform the VET that there was a problem. I know that it is a tough call for the jockey when owners are at the races to see her run, but .... what if she was injured during the race?
