Thank you for letting me know. I saw the race and the breakdown looked bad. Since I follow the Include line horses it was really sad to me and he was running so well with ears up until the end. Did the TVG commentators mention his fate or did you learn it elsewhere? I stayed on that channel for a little while and then went back to NYRA, etc. Rest in Peace beautiful Manicomio.

No read the chart on Equibase . It looked like he Faltered on left foreleg, trying to catch himself with right and went down, my guess sesamoid in both front? He has run 9 times this year, this trainer claimed him last out, but race before that he was eased in stretch, so I think something amiss there although he finished strongly on claimed race. I was worried about jock as he was rolled/ stepped on, but TVG said he was up and walking around jocks room, don’t know if he’s off mounts later or not.
