Paynter back in clinic; Colitis diagnosed..

[Danzig]

saw an update on drf that he's improving, but the first comment at the end of the article (about an hour ago) said zayat tweeted something about paynter not having a good night, and keep praying.
anyone hear anything? the article made me hopeful, but that comment pretty much crushed that optimistic feeling.


edit~looked on drf just now, that article i saw earlier today is gone. now i'm really concerned.

The thing with colitis is they get better and worse often with no warning either way. They can have a stable temp and appear to be rehydrating and a few hours later spike a fever back to 104 and look terrible. The treatment is pretty rudimentary in that there isnt any elaborate way of dealing with it, mostly giving them IV fluids and banamine to control the temp. This may be simplifying it to a degree but there just isnt a whole lot that you can do for them.

Thanks for the update. Sounds like this guy is one tough horse. Prayers for you, buddy - keep fighting and get well.

While i feel badly for the colt himself, i have no such feelings regarding Ahmed Zayat.

I will never forget that he and Mr Allen (owner of MTB) were conspiring to keep Rachel Alexandra out of the Preakness. Despicable and classless, as was his wussy backtrack when interviewed on TVG. "I was looking out for the filly's well being"...GROAN.

Now, every nice horse Zayat has had since then has gone down to injury; this one may die.

Some may think finding pleasure in the demise of the above horses is equally if not more classless. Just sayin.

It could be a bit of a stretch to extrapolate that he finds pleasure in the troubles of those horses, based solely on him stating his dislike of Zayat.

you think that because he attempted to keep rachel out of a race, that all this is occurring to the horses-who had nothing to do with rachel?? interesting.

It's nice to think that but there are far too many cases of scumbags being successful to counter that Disney logic of karma.

Please point out where i am taking pleasure in Paynter's illness...

is it the 'karma is a bitch' phrase?
is it the 'while i feel badly for the colt...' phrase?
is it the 'i have no such feelings regarding Zayat' phrase?
is it the 'every nice horse since has gone down to injury' phrase?

I hope folks aren't upset that i'm not upset that Zayat is worried for his colt.
You see, it's not his feelings or mindset or well being that matters to me.
AGAIN (so no one misses it)...i feel badly for the colt and i am not pleased to see him fighting for his life.
I just happen to dislike his owner...a lot. It was a low down dirty ass move he almost pulled...does anyone deny that?
When I Want Revenge got injured there were many who commented on their dislike for his connections (IEAH and Mullins) while separating that from how they felt for the horse himself.
That's all i was doing

It's easy to read something like what you posted in a thread like this and make assumptions and read stuff into it that isn't there.

I did this with your post... not publicly but in my head... and I apologize.

Poor horse... you know? I was not / am not his biggest fan or anything remotely close but I feel so bad as I know we all do so a post like yours seemed insensitive and inappropriate and I hope you can understand why it received the reaction(s) it did.

Here's hoping he ends up having a nice, long life.
