A sentence from a bloodhorse article:
John Velazquez, who rode Tiz Wonderful, told Verderosa he felt “something pop” as he was galloping back to be unsaddled.

that was pretty much what i was inferring in my original post. by demise, do you mean that his demise as a racehorse, or that he ended up dying?

Just the constant beating he took as a racehorse. He was in a butchershop to begin with, hyped up, and really had nowhere to go but down.
I dont know if hes still with us, but I havent heard anything to the contrary. Hopefully hes not insured

I suppose in order to make an assertion that Tiz Wonderful's connections should be ashamed of themselves one has to assume that Steve Asmussen knowingly put Tiz Wonderful on the track when injured. I am no great Steve Asmussen fan, but is it possible to have that knowledge as just a racing fan?
I'd say no, especially given that Tiz Wonderful's supposed injury happened after the running of the More Than Ready today. We've gone over Tiz Wonderful's performance in the Jim Dandy, so there's no need doing that again. However, today he did not run a bad race at all. He lost to a horse who was definitely improving a bit more than I anticipated, but it's not like Tiz Wonderful disgraced himself. I'm wondering how much the collective feelings on this board about the whole Tiz Wonderful situation has to do with Asmussen himself and his checkered past. While Asmussen's horrendous record in terms of drug positives and suspensions is indefensible, I just don't see how he can be blamed or should feel ashamed for the way he handled Tiz Wonderful. NT

no way am i surprised at this turn of events. as for assmussens 'past' i'd say it's his present as well. he finished serving his six month suspension earlier this year, not as tho it's ancient history.
as for Tiz W, he should have been brought back slowly, i thought this from the moment he made his comeback vs the top 3 yo colt in the country. what happened to taking it easy, to bringing a horse back a step at a time? we all know that it's a dicey proposition bringing a horse back from an injury, and that too often the horse isn't quite the same. so why the mad rush to put him right back in top company? what happened to building slowly, regaining confidence along with a fitness level and mental edge?? i wouldn't hire assmussen to housebreak a dog or litterbox train a cat. absolutely disgraceful!
