According to the NY Daily News, Sassification was euthanized.

I know he pulled up. It didn't look life-threatening but I don't know for sure. I didn't hear anything.

Have you noticed that far fewer horses are having catastrophic injuries in the afternoon at HP and SA. There is a reason for this. The state vets are being much stricter about who they are allowing to run. There are plenty of horses that would have been allowed to run in the past, that they will not allow to run any more. The Eight Belles incident has actually saved alot of lives because the state vets have gotten much stricter as a direct result of Eight Belles. It shouldn't have taken such a well publicized incident for them to finally do something. There were way too many horses breaking down before the Eight Belles incident and yet nobody was doing anything about it. There were injured horses running every day that had no business running.

There were two big name horses this year entered in big races that were scratched and both of these horses would have been allowed to run in the past. I can promise you that both The Pamplemousse and I Want Revenge would have been allowed to run before the Eight Belles incident. But as a direct result of the Eight Belles, the tracks are being much stricter. Although the press reported otherwise, both The Pamplemousse and I Want Revenge were vet scratches. Had the state vet not forced those horses to scratch, they would have both run, even though both horses were injured and had no business running.
