After Super Frolic broke down - I went back to the Asmussen barn to have a look at him - he was in very bad shape in my opinion.
When I asked The trainer who's deputizing for Steve Asmussen and Darrin Flemming about his status - he told me that there was suspensory damage. I asked if he'd make it....and he said he'd know more in a few hours.
I was the only member of the press that day who went back there - I was going to go back again after the last race - however, my biggest bet of the night was in the final race, it won and paid $26.00 - and in the excitement of that..I forgot all about making my second visit back.
Scott Lake's Cantrel broke down as the post time favorite in a stake race on opening day. The post time favorite has now died from the result of an injury suffered during the race in two of the meets five stake races.
