Default Dixie Chatter, Attila's Storm Out
From backstretch:

Dixie Chatter: Fever...

Attila's Storm: Ankle...

Fevers may continue to be a problem with weather shift...

fevers are not caused by weather.

The cynic in me says hmmm when I see post position 10+ scratching with a fever.. When a horse scratches for a fever, is this verified by the track vet or are we taking hte trainer at his word ?

This year's " fevers " appear to have been contracted at the draw.

Attila's Storm, Dixie Chatter scratched
By JAY PRIVMAN and MIKE WELSCH

OCEANPORT, N.J. – Attila's Storm, who was entered in the Breeders' Cup Sprint, and Dixie Chatter, who was entered in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile, were scratched from their respective Saturday races on Thursday morning at Monmouth Park.

Attila's Storm has a filling in an ankle, according to trainer Rich Schosberg, who said X-rays were inconclusive.

"I'm sure it's nothing major, but we're certainly taking no risks," Schosberg said.

Dixie Chatter came up with a fever, according to his trainer, Richard Mandella.

"It's not anything serious," Mandella said Thursday morning. "He had a little temperature last night, and it was 102 this morning. He didn't eat his feed. So we went ahead and treated him with medication and scratched him. It puts a little kibosh on the weekend."

Dixie Chatter traveled from California on the same plane as Cry and Catch Me, who on Wednesday was withdrawn from the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies with a similar illness.

The stewards/track vets basically take the trainers word that the horse has a fever. Ive yet to see a track vet actually take the horses temperature to varify it. Some will want verification that the trainers personal vet has treated the horse with antibiotics..

In stake races the trainer can scratch for any reason up to 45 mins to post. Plus most state vets barely have time to do the job that they have let alone going around taking tempatures.

We had a horse colic Tuesday night and it was attributed to the drop in temperature.

so can shipping across the country in a poorly ventilated airplane ....and so can a bad post draw......but the temps merly exacerbate the stress which can cause immune disruption....the weather itself is not the cause, because a healthy animal wouldn't be bothered by swings in temperature.

this time of year it isn't so much caused by the temp shift as much as it is that grasses in the paddock begin to hoard fructan (to stay alive) which can cause a horse to colic....assuming the horse has paddock access....also as the weather cools many horses don't drink enough water, because they aren't sweating as much and can get themselves into trouble that way.

I believe you get your entry money back if you get a vet to scratch you by the way...
