Kick to the gut this am at OAK

If you are not listening to Byk, Taraz pulled up, and an announcement shortly.  Bad news, just awful listening to Steve.

Sad.

According to a statement from Juddmonte, Taraz \"severely fractured her left front pastern.\"

\"Given the extreme nature of the damage to the bone and compromise to the blood supply,\" the statement continued, \"it was agreed that repair was impractical. Having consulted between trainer Brad Cox, veterinarians and Juddmonte management it was deemed best to euthanize the filly.\"
