[South Beach Luv]

I wonder how many people will show up tomorrow not knowing he's scratched.

Other than Twitter, are there any real sources? Twitter accounts have been known to get hacked pretty frequently.

Doug O'neil broke the news on the Dan Patrick show a little while ago.

Did anyone actually hear the news broken on the Dan Patrick show? Does anyone even listen to the Dan Patrick show?

I want to believe this is a hoax. I'm guessing it isn't.

OK. My post was a gut reaction. I don't really know if it really had anything to do with it but I've read from O'Neil saying that IHA must have... "whacked himself". The horse was in an enviroment that the trainer didn't want him to be.
You seem like a gambling man. I'll bet you $100 that Belmont doesn't do the detention barn thing again for the Belmont Stakes. Are we on?

The trainers have complained from the very beginning about the detention barn. To stick 12 horses into tight confines. Who's not to say he got whacked by another horse or spooked by one. Hopefully it is not the case but I guess the press conference will reveal more.

Yeah it's not out of the realm of possibility. I know that WHAS had AP audio of Dale Romans b.itching about how crowded it was. 3 to 4 employees for one horse.

No deal. Chances are, that if you continue to make asinine comments like your original one, you'll be darted before next years Belmont anyway.

Last night in Andy Serling's online chat, I specifically asked if Andy felt or had heard any backstretch news about the impact of the detention barn or that any horses had not taken well to the environment. Andy said that although this was not his domain, he had heard nothing and was hopeful that things would continue to be quiet.

Now, one just has to think that the detention barn issue did have nothing to do with this injury based on reports right now. If nothing else, this has put the industry in a positive light with the volume of attention these animals received. Some doubters will suggest that you need the same protections for a $5,000 claimer on a Tuesday afternoon in November, however this time, the sport is being shown "at its responsible best".

[Antitrust32]

much better this was caught and solved so we did not have another big brown type of situation.

Though the race is about 3 million times less exciting now.
