Thank you for telling us about your horse and what happened. This must have brought up all those sad memories for you again but please know that by sharing you have given some of us some peace. Unless we hear different from the autopsy I will lean on this when I feel the need to constantly question why. Thank you for sharing... especially since you have seen this happen in person. It helps...

"On Monday morning, Baffert said jockey Corey Nakatani, riding Colonel John, told him that when he passed Eight Belles on the turn, he heard the filly whinnying possibly in distress."

Can you please just stop perpetuating this nonsense?

That person joined today and has made a total of one (1) post...not to mention the screen name.

Can anyone say "troll"?

You're right and I'm really surprised he/she had the nerve to use that screen name.  Awful.

I just learned that my "ignore" button can come in handy with these " post from under the bridge" ...kinda like my "mute" button on my remote...lol.
