Bad news. I heard there was another breakdown today at Santa Anita. That is very surprising because I thought they were only open for limited training. I didn't think horses were even working yet. It is possible the horse could have broken down during a gallop. I don't know. I haven't heard any details yet.

I read that for timed, high speed exercises, a request has to be submitted 24 hours prior to the workout.
Cant find anything on a breakdown yet....

I haven’t seen it anywhere either and I actively searched the most reliable rumor mill out there - Twitter.

You can bet if this was true that the news would spread like wildfire on social media...I can only imagine what the circus is like outside the track

From Brad Free:
Sad.to report Princess Lili B broke both front legs at conclusion of half-mile workout Thursday at Santa Anita. Euthanized. Somber mood trackside. Training will continue this morning.

You know there are a lot of reasons why horses breakdown, so nobody should jump to conclusions. Maybe the track surface is wonderful, maybe the horse just took a bad step and it could have happened anywhere, maybe it was a soft tissue injury that was undiagnosed or treated improperly that caused a weakness in the animals' ability to jog properly? Let's wait for the necropsy report and the findings of the blue ribbon panel BEFORE suggesting SA management and or the racing surface is deemed the culprit. Tracks and the people maintaining them have rights too!

A horse was vanned off with a soft tissue concern. Otherwise OK.

Please get back to heralding celebrity deaths.

I think my friend's info was wrong. What happened was that a Phil D'Amato horse was vanned off. As fast as things spread, I guess that turned into "Phil D'Amato had a horse break down." From what I'm reading on DRF, it says, "One racehorse that was galloping was vanned off the main track early Monday, perhaps during the blackout. The incident was not serious, according to trainer Phil D’Amato, who was in Florida. After speaking with his help, D’Amato said via text that it was his understanding that a pony kicked the horse, who was “comfortable” after returning to his stable."
