What a wonderful story! Too bad the horse, and its' history got lost all these years. So glad The Meadows was written, so this horse and his story could come to light!

Actually it does still run LOL. We know a couple here in Richmond that go to Saratoga every year and take the train, not sure where they end up in NY though. Albany?
It really is amazing Planet wasn't spirited off by either side.

Took me a minute to dig up this thread...
Saturday we were at Colonial Downs. There was a horse entered in the 11th race, hadn't raced in TWO years. Program listed only one work this year. Anyway, as you might guess, the horse was eased in the stretch and taken off by ambulance. I was hopeful because he didn't seem to be in distress and walked on without assistance.
Anyway I emailed CD asking about him and what kind of vet checks he had, and received a very nice response from the veterinarian for the Racing Commission. He said the horse had been working up at Laurel, checked by vets there as well as the vets at Colonial and cleared for racing because the original injury appeared completely healed. The good news is the new injury was not severe and he'll be retired from racing.
I was impressed that they had the vet respond to my inquiry, nice job Colonial!
