Life @ 10, now that was a disgrace

[sighthound]

Word is she was dehydrated, tied up a little.  Taken out of the auction this week.  Seems fine today.

The plot thickens?

I know TAP won 3 races this weekend, but his losers ran so badly that it makes you wonder.

The Kentucky Horse Racing Commission is nearing completion of an investigation into the circumstances surrounding Life At Ten, who was eased as the 7-2 second betting choice in Friday's $2-million Breeders' Cup Ladies' Classic just minutes after her jockey, John Velazquez, said during a live horseback interview with ESPN that she was not warming up normally.

Life At Ten was not drug tested after the race, though blood was drawn for TCO2 testing and could be used for testing purposes. KHRC spokesman Dick Brown said trainer Todd Pletcher disclosed that the morning after the race Life At Ten's temperature "was well above normal" and that a subsequent blood test showed an "elevated white blood cell count." According to Pletcher, Life At Ten's temperature was normal before the Ladies' Classic. Pletcher previously speculated Life At Ten may have had a reaction to her Lasix shot or tied-up (cramped) prior to the race.

I like the comment calling him Todd Madoff.
