RHL Out of Oaks

[PonyBologna]

According to Churchill Downs communications department: \"R Heat Lightning will miss the Kentucky Oaks; heat detected in right knee, won\'t be entered.\"

Obviously the last number blew her up, too bad

[TGJB]

Another rewrite for the %*#$ seminar.

Just curious TGJB.  Now, since the filly is out, what was going to be your position on RHL?

[sekrah]

Ugh, what a bummer..  Scratch wrecks a gorgeous looking betting race.

[TGJB]

Couldn\'t rely on her running well, couldn\'t throw her out. I think it\'s a better betting race with her out, clearer lines to draw, less combinations.

sekrah, I know what you mean, but...I\'d rather have them scratch out than risk some atrocious injury on prime-time TV. So do you. PETA would just love a reason to jump all over horse racing again.
