I really hope he survives all this....and to ever come back and race, that would be a HUGE bonus.

It's a bit ironic that Bodemeister was never at death's door and they retired him rather than wait for him to return as a 4 year old.
Paynter was at death's door, yet he seems enthusiastic about bringing him back... I'm glad Paynter is improving though. |

Regarding Zayat and the Travers push, it baffled me that a horse with his issues before that race would've been flown back anywhere. Horses like being home, I get it, and Baffert wants to see him regularly with his own eyes, but I'm not a fan of treating them like transcontinental yo-yos even though I see it work. Just feels like unnecessary stress to frequently ship East, run, then ship right back, but maybe I'm just projecting my own thoughts of jet lag (Probably am, it's not like Baffert isn't successful doing it). After illness #1, I assumed they'd wait for a later race as the Travers was an obvious no-go. Then they try to make it. That was a bizarre call. Steve's right. I don't pat Zayat on the back when I think about how Paynter's doing. I mentally give Paynter a pat on the neck for being alive. |

No rotation in the feet is great news regarding the laminitis.
And Touch Gold was best at the Belmont. And he was best in the Preakness. That doesnt mean Silver Charm was not a great horse... that was a great crop of horses. Even the Captain had some good closing speed.

No telling how great Silver Charm really was because of how he always waited on horses. If he didn't do that Touch Gold would have never even got close to him. Mc Carron knew that and went 10 wide for a reason.

Apparently he's got a mild fever again. Zayat tweeted that he's eating well and comfortable, but I doubt he's excited about any change in temp. At least the diarrhea isn't back.

No further updates this evening, except wishing everyone happy and healthy New Year.
In the picture MMSC posted, you can see the hematomas (clots) in the jugular from the catheter, hopefully the mild fever is just "residual stuff" resolving and healing.

anything new?
|
#136

Doesn't look like there's anything to report. Zayat and his son Justin haven't tweeted today. I did a quick search, but I didn't see anything from anybody else.

ok, thanks. i'd looked a bit and didn't see a thing either. oh well, they say no news is good news.

I would imagine it's quiet because of the holiday... it doesn't seem like they update on Saturdays (either) so that's probably it.
