Awww I had hoped to see her again.

That Oaks win of hers was heart-stopping! Seeing those twin silks, her and Zurella fighting it out... that was great and I stupidly cannot remember the girl who was out really wide and flying at the end but yeah... what a race that was.

Hope she has a long and healthy life.

That was a great race. If I remember right, it was Quintessential coming down the outside at the end.

Wasserman...

WASSERMAN BOWS TENDON, RETIRES AS LEADING EARNER

Wasserman was pulled up in Sunday’s seventh race and vanned back to trainer Howard Belvoir’s barn, where the trainer said the track’s all-time leading earner was in no distress.

According to Belvoir, the 11-year-old gelding suffered a bowed tendon in his left front leg and is retired from racing.

"He's doing great,” Belvoir said of Wasserman. “Grooms from other barns came over to see him. Everybody's feeding him and he's eating it all. He feels great.

“A bowed tendon needs to heal and he'll be fine. He's been an unbelievably sound horse.”

The track’s all-time leading earner with $575,024, Wasserman is 13-13-13 in 71 career starts at Emerald Downs, including a win in his most recent start August 9.

Wasserman’s magical 2008 season, in which he won four stakes and the 2008 Longacres Mile, is one of the greatest years by any horse in Washington racing history.
