Reach the World breaks down in work, euthanized at 3
By Steve Andersen

http://www.drf.com/news/reach-world-...k-euthanized-3

ARCADIA, Calif. – Reach the World, fourth in the Grade 1 Santa Anita Derby on April 8, was euthanized on Saturday after suffering severe injuries to his right foreleg in a workout at Santa Anita.

Reach the World was nearing the end of a team exercise when he was stricken. Jockey Martin Garcia was able to pull up Reach the World, who was vanned off. Garcia was not injured.

Trained by Bob Baffert for Don Alberto Stable, Reach the World was considered a candidate for the Belmont Stakes on June 10.

Reach the World had his stakes debut in the Santa Anita Derby. By Tapit, Reach the World was bred by Don Alberto Stable and had one win in four starts, a maiden race at 1 1/16 miles on Feb. 4 in his second start.

Reach the World was second to Battle of Midway in an optional claimer on March 9 before finishing 1 1/2 lengths behind Gormley in the $1 million Santa Anita Derby.

In the DRF:
Shirreffs said that Royal Mo wouldn't be on the plane to Kentucky (with Gormley) because he needed four to exit to get in........he didn't think that would happen.
Of course two took a hike soon after,so I wonder if there's a plan B.

Question on the status of 3 horses-
Fast and Accurate isn't nominated, right? Any word on when connections will make the decision to pay up or not to run? I heard maybe Maker was waiting to see how the horse worked over the track?

Is Thunder Snow in the US yet and is the plan still to run? I heard there were some questions regarding this.

When will a decision be made on Malagacy? But anyw word what is holding up a final determination?

Thanks as always for all the info Steve.

Fast and Accurate will pay 💰 to play. Still at the Spectrum with Maker's horses and seemingly doing well. Will come over when he has to, but don't think he's going to work at Churchill.

Thunder Snow expected Sunday.

Malagacy arrived at CD today and Pletcher wants to see him travel over the surface before deciding on withdrawl.

Any word on Battalion Runner??

Not that I give him a snowball's chance in h-e-double hockey sticks, but I can see Bejarano getting the leg up for some reason.

Saez frontrunner as of now. Desormeaux a possibility with Romans frequently leaning to him in this spot over the last few years and having ridden J Boys (admittedly badly). Miguel Mena an outside shot too. Alsbaugh a decision after sleeping on it tonight..

I'm not trying to give you a hard time, as when you aren't touting every Baffert runner your opinion is solid, but how could you endorse this horse? He has never run a particularly good race. He was very much with a strong bias in the Wood. What about him suggests he has a "big shot" in the Derby?

Earlier in this thread I said Battalion Runner should run in the Pat Day Mile. That spot makes more sense and he would be a bear turning back. I give him a shot in the Derby by default. I want no one from California, Fair Grounds, Keeneland and Oaklawn. That leaves me with Sunland, Dubai, The Wood and the Fl Derby. Irish War Cry and Always Dreaming seem legit to me vs these other horses. But they are 2 of the 3 likely chalks. Battalion Runner is right there on beyer, lightly raced and working well. I think he has a chance vs a subpar group.
