Brahma Bull - fractured sesamoid during training at Golden Gate Fields this past Sunday (8/17/08). A good friend of mine used to own this horse and was devestated on Sunday to hear the news.
R.I.P.

This one from the Alameda Fair was missed....I know because I was there. Forever Chocolate was the favorite, or close to it. Looked to me like she was in discomfort of some kind in the paddock pre-race, and I lamented afterwards that no one from her connections other than the walker appeared to be around to witness.... 07-04-082 STEWARDS’ INQUIRY – ACCIDENT – Seventh Race – NO CHANGE The stewards posted the inquiry sign to investigate the cause of an accident at the 4 ½ after three horses fell and unseated their jockeys. After a thorough review, the stewards affirmed the order of finish posted on the infield tote board. Tapes showed that #2 FOREVER CHOCOLATE, ridden by Alex Bisono, collapsed while racing mid-pack and fell toward the inside rail throwing Bisono. Two trailing horses, #3 THREE ACROSS with Jorge Herrera in the saddle and #8 D’WEATHERMAN, Saul Arias up, were unable to avoid the downed horse and the two horses fell dislodging the jockeys. Track veterinarian Dr. Robert Connolly reported that FOREVER CHOCOLATE was deceased at the scene and there was no evidence that the horse suffered any catastrophic skeletal injuries. The cause of death will be determined through a post mortem examination. THREE ACROSS and D’WEATHERMAN recovered their legs after the spill and were captured without incident. THREE ACROSS suffered minor scrapes and D’WEATHERMAN incurred a three inch laceration. Alex Bisono escaped unscathed and was cleared to ride the next race. Jorge Herrera complained of shoulder pain and Saul Arias suffered head injuries. Both riders were taken to local hospitals for further examination After the fact edit: Just realizing the link was for three sets of minutes over the three part-weeks of the meet. Echo's was for the 3rd and final week. Last edited by westcoastinvader : 08-19-2008 at 08:56 PM.
