Kickin is currently asleep in her stall and OK. After being iced and hosed down and given fluids, vet provided a tranquilizer to calm her down. Will check back later but she appears past the incident.
Tony told Chuck that she was very keyed up and ready to go and moving great onto the backstretch when her breathing started to labor. He backed off her down the stretch and galloped her home but past the wire she started to wobble as if she was going to go down.
As Chuck said after, not a good day to run a neurotic horse...
