 Bellafina will miss the BC- due to a minor problem- and she will be retired, as will Donna Veloce-

I really like Bellafina - will miss seeing her race but hope she has a long and healthy life in retirement

Gosh darn it for both! Happy retirement ladies!

Magic Wand retired due to a stubborn abscess

 Is there a danger of her developing laminitis because of this stubborn abscess?

I really don’t know, I guess a possibility if the infection escalated? But I think usually it doesn’t go to laminitis.

 I certainly hope she recovers well

Will miss Bellafina;  really enjoyed her races.   And her connections!
