Paynter back in clinic; Colitis diagnosed..

[Indian Charlie]

There was an accident that caused his death while he was being bathed.

I have been told this by more than one party, and all would be considered 'insiders'.

Hoping this is a good sign. Fingers crossed for Paynter.

Actually that is a small good sign, to live through the first 24 hours. Yes, fingers crossed!

Ahmed Zayat just tweeted this: "Paynter update.; just got this from Dr. Javsicas "he is eating fresh grass and more playful " whatever works!"



For anybody on Twitter (I think you can see her tweets even if you're not) there's a crazy lady @getdownwolfie aka Gina Powell who's throwing around accusations of conspiracy to hide things about Paynter (she claimed earlier that he was dead and wanted them to show photographic proof he wasn't), she's raging to PETA and she's told Joe Drape "Please Joe follow the story on PAYNTER who is sick! You can provide an unbiased view unlike mainstream racing media!" followed by " There is a clearly stated rule that the NYRC should have invoked against Bob Baffert trainer of PAYNTER. Care and Custodial rule!" If you're on Twitter, this lady's clearly spamming it up with PETA nonsense. I reported her for spam and I suggest others do the same so we can at least get her temporarily suspended. It's one thing to have an opinion, but she's firing off constant crazy lies from rays that clearly went right through her aluminum hat.

electrical? i'm just curious since all i'd ever heard was he keeled over dead suddenly and they thought heart attack.

saw an update on drf that he's improving, but the first comment at the end of the article (about an hour ago) said zayat tweeted something about paynter not having a good night, and keep praying.
anyone hear anything? the article made me hopeful, but that comment pretty much crushed that optimistic feeling.


edit~looked on drf just now, that article i saw earlier today is gone. now i'm really concerned.

The thing with colitis is they get better and worse often with no warning either way. They can have a stable temp and appear to be rehydrating and a few hours later spike a fever back to 104 and look terrible. The treatment is pretty rudimentary in that there isnt any elaborate way of dealing with it, mostly giving them IV fluids and banamine to control the temp. This may be simplifying it to a degree but there just isnt a whole lot that you can do for them.

Thanks for the update. Sounds like this guy is one tough horse. Prayers for you, buddy - keep fighting and get well.

While i feel badly for the colt himself, i have no such feelings regarding Ahmed Zayat.

I will never forget that he and Mr Allen (owner of MTB) were conspiring to keep Rachel Alexandra out of the Preakness. Despicable and classless, as was his wussy backtrack when interviewed on TVG. "I was looking out for the filly's well being"...GROAN.

Now, every nice horse Zayat has had since then has gone down to injury; this one may die.
