Sorry hooves he was put down. Damn what is going on over there at Keen??? I was there on the big Sat. and it was very a very odd day with teuf.getting hurt i felt really bad and the horse in the paddock thank the good Lord i didnt see that really bad day and now this. Very odd for the track b/c they had such good luck and these are good horses getting hurt. Just dont get it and im on record as saying that it turns my stomach when this happens b/c i have to imagine what the owners/trainers feel like when this happens . very sad for all involved.

I too am saddened. My condolences to all. I was hoping no more breakdowns on the AW track for the meet.

Keeneland is having a rough meet with this AWT. I saw a video of this unfortunate incident, looks like he took a bad step. I had this horse for my pick in the race of the day contest also.

Its not just the breakdowns, the horses are really not accepting the kickback which has been an issue from the start. They are fanned 7-10 wide to avoid kickback, anything in behind the kickback will cock its head and back out of the running. Its just not real horseracing.

Bid, so you think the breakdowns are being caused by the track? Why?
