Silly decision. He kind of put it all together 7 days ago. Could have been a Cigar Mile, Carter, Met Mile player moving forward. I guess those races don't matter.

Sad to say that Battle of Midway broke down this morning at Santa Anita and had to be put down. Just awful.

Just read...Rest in Peace Champ
Jeremy Balan tweeted: Grade 1 winner Battle of Midway broke down this morning at Santa Anita, according to Don Alberto racing manager Fernando Diaz-Valdes. They're trying to save him, but Diaz-Valdes said "the vets say there's no way." Diaz-Valdes said the horse shattered his pastern in a hind leg.

Everyone wants to believe their horse is the second coming of Seabiscuit.
Once they are let down it is just about impossible to have the patience to bring them back to top form. The "he's standing there not making us millions" syndrome. |

He was a 5yo racehorse fully capable of competing at the same level he did before the stallion season as shown by his performances. Of course Don Alberto & WinStar would have him in training.
