Angels

[my miss storm cat]

His name was Cimyla and he deserves more than this litle blurb on DRF.

He'd won at Wolverhampton, at Lingfield, Sandown and Nottingham.

Not a worldbeater, not a superstar, but a nice horse with heart who was fun to follow.

He tried.

He'll be missed.

Hope he didn't suffer.

Cimyla, 7, euthanized after workout

Cimyla, a 7-year-old gelding winless in five starts in this country, was euthanized on Saturday after suffering injuries at the conclusion of a workout. The injury happened near the finish line after a seven-furlong workout.

Trainer Ben Cecil said that Cimyla suffered a severe sesamoid injury.

Cimyla is the third horse to be euthanized at Santa Anita since the synthetic main track was resurfaced earlier this month in an effort to improve drainage. Cecil was quick to say the racetrack was not at fault.

"I don't blame the racetrack," he said. "I think the racetrack is very good. You're going to get injuries from time to time."
