It was all that weight she almost had to carry.
That guy at Oaklawn should lose his job over this.

Was Larry Jones riding her in that workout?

I appreciate the way some connections reach out to their fans and bend over backwards to keep them informed, to go so far as to post silly bath time videos etc., when really... no one is owed anything. Happy retirement to her.

we all like the horses-some of the owners/trainers...not so much.

Obviously, everyone wishes the horse well. And I really enjoyed her 2011 campaign and, as a fan, thank them for that.

Sports were so much better before athletes had blogs and especially before people started creating blogs for horses. We don't need photos of Kobe Bryant taking a bath so why should we need them of a horse taking one?

It adds another dimension, makes racing more user-friendly. Racing needs bettors but it also needs fans and the people in between. Enthusiasm. I think it's a good thing, Kingie. I know you know what some people here don't and that is that the fans DO play, that they DO bet, that they're the ones trying to bring more people in and get people excited... not the guys who - when they do actually go to the track - claim their spot inside, spread out the form, their laptop, whatever else and spend the day by themselves in a crowded place.

That's a shame. I'll miss her running. The vet report shows how one tiny, little ligament can end a career. Considering the mare wasn't lame, glad they caught it right away.
Wonder what he'll take for her?
