Paynter back in clinic; Colitis diagnosed..
they say it's a recurrence of the previous illness. fever, diarhea. taking in fluids, etc. they said the fever has come down. so, sounds to me that the original illness was a bit more serious than they first said. and not a good sign that it's back. i doubt the pa derby is doable now.

I think right now they are hoping tomorrow is doable. Collitis is a very serious illness, usually fatal.

yeah, went to drf site to see if there was more, and i see it's colitis. that's awful, sorry to hear it.
hoping for the best...said he's stable, but no real improvement. and the vet said he's worried to death, and mentioned the fear of founder.

Paynter found to have colitis; vet expresses great concern
By Jay Privman Paynter on Tuesday night was described as being seriously ill by Dr. Mark Cheney, the respected equine veterinarian who is overseeing his treatment, who said the Haskell Invitational winner has colitis - an inflammation of the colon - and that a principle concern now is also founder. "I'm worried to death," Cheney said in a telephone interview. "You've got to keep your fingers crossed. Just hope and pray."

Ahmed Zayat: Must Hear Amazing ESPN Interview
http://espn.go.com/sports/horse/triplecrown2012/
Ahmed Zayat gave an interview to ESPN and wow! It is a must hear! He is very candid and open about Paynter and his condition! He is just raw and it made me an even bigger fan of his. In the interview he even reveals that Baffert "Believes that [Paynter] is as good as Point Given." Check the 8 minute mark! I am an even bigger fan of Ahmed Zayat's after hearing this interview and I believe anyone who hears this will feel the same way.

baffert saying paynter's as good as point given really doesn't matter much. the horse didn't prove it, and probably won't ever get the chance. i don't recall a horse ever returning to racing after a bout with laminitis.

Ill be thrilled if paynter makes it, so will zayat. But i just dont see a chance in hell of the horse running again. Im just amazed at this point it would even get a second thought. Speaks to the fortitude of paynter.

"@jazz3162 Paynter update: Doing well. Protein stable. Feet comfortable. Temp 101.3. We are stopping the iv antibiotic and will monitor fevers. He is stable and comfortable. He has a long way to go but this is a step in the right direction. He's fighting hard."

Point Given dominated the Preakness, won the Belmont with devastating ease -- and swept the Haskell and Travers in a bar shoe...running outstanding figures for a 3yo router in three of the four races. Curtis Paynter was 1-for-4 lifetime in stakes races. Off the board in the SA Derby, beaten in the Derby Trial, blew an uncontested lead through easy fractions in the Belmont, and finally won a weak edition of the Haskell over Nonios and Steelcase. The nonsense with Paynter has been going on before he ever raced. At least Baffert didn't say Silver Charm, who was even better than Point Given. It was at Archwarrior levels. He was a very nice racehorse, but he wasn't even the best 3yo from his stable -- and had horses like Fed Biz and Secret Circle stayed healthy, I don't think he would have been the second best 3yo either. Tom Brady was so impressive in workouts -- he got drafted in the 6th round 199th overall ahead of Spergon Wynn.

It's hard to think they'd have taken a Triple Crown winner down had Real Quiet gotten his nose in front of Victory Gallop (kind of like leaving up Goldikova when she clearly caused a mess). Talk about letting the air out of the balloon. The place would've exploded with enthusiasm and then turned into a mass of confusion. A real mess. He would've deserved the take down though. Maybe the best for everybody that it ended that way rather than have the controversy?

Had Touch Gold had a proper trip in the Preakness, Touch Gold would have won two thirds of the triple crown.

They were so dismissal of that initial illness. It was unreal that they just blew it off like that. And paynter may pay a higher price then he already has for that.
