If the vets would release a statement similar to this in some manner along with releasing/showing the work out videos that Oscar posted then at least we have something to hang our hats on.
Pletcher on Byk today had some comments regarding the vet situation.

Moving on.
Good Luck.

Watched the video.
To my eyes I agree definitely not the smoothest looking in the rear.
Then again I have no other gallop videos to compare this to.
We agree on it should be transparency for all.

Good luck

I don’t think anyone in their right minds ever wants to ever see a horse break down.

Anyone listen to the reason the Japanese horse was scratched? If I heard correctly pretty weak.
I saw a German horse this week every time he walked his left rear leg went straight up. That action was ok, that’s who the horse is and thank goodness he came home safe.

My point is don’t make these owners and trainers jump thru hoops to show medical record after medical record. Gamblers take time to handicap etc etc etc only to say “I don’t like”.
We deserve a reason not an opinion.
And thur all that sorry to say they still had one break down.

Help me understand?
These vets have prodded these horses for days.
They asked Saffie for all test results, scans etc and he produced them with no issues.
Then magically at post time they say no go and that’s supposed to pass the eye test?
To this eye it looks like they were after that horse from the beginning.

A judgment call?
From a vet who has never spent more than a day or two around a particular horse I feel is not a good enough reason.
Especially since Saffie went above and beyond producing any test results they asked for.
They were on him for days and to do this at post time doesn’t sit right.
These vet scratches need to have a reason other than a judgement call.

Lawsuit coming?

I’m sure it will be fine.

I’ve had this thought that Rispolli was not a good fit on Journalism.
Rider change to Jose Ortiz.
Upgrade in my book

Not surprised by this news.
I’m sure some of the peeps running the BC just might be in these CAWs.

I’ll be attending this year.
I’m staying up in the Carlsbad area.
For those who have attended for access in and out is it easier with a uber or in your own vehicle?
Also any recommendations on where to get some good food?
Appreciate it.
Good Luck

As my professor said and I quote.
“ It’s one big club and you ain’t in it”.
Good luck
