Yes, I read that. I believe all horses coming off a vet list need to have scans on their legs.

I remember the article about how devastated New York Thunder's trainer was after the horrible spill-- I felt bad for him- Now I am thinking if he acted responsibly this horse would be alive

I hated reading this article, this horse obviously had a big problem brewing and it was just a matter of time. Shame on the trainer and owners.
 

I think joint injections means no race for 30 to 60 days. Maybe mandatory scans prior to the injection? To make sure it’s not something bigger brewing.

IMO this was a preventable death. SMH

RIP Pastor T, my condolences to his connections. This does not help Baffert in anyway…..

Sigh- so sad ----

I imagine a necropsy will be done and they will look to see if the horse was recently injected with  a steroid

Point Given has died at 25.:(.   My condolences to his connections and all of us who have loved him.

Thank you for posting this with the article.    Rest in Eternal Peace, Trusted Company.

removed incorrect info about this mare.  Had her circumstances mixed up with those of Border Run 

Bless this lovely horse who certainly defied the odds and lived to a grand old age.
