gomez commented that it was actually soft in his opinion

[PerfectSoul]

That was one heck of a greasy looking slide he took. Very sad. RIP Rough Sailing.

I have a bad feeling about the two remaining turf races today. The Euros wanted more water on the course and it seems they got it, but it is on the top and is creating a slippery surface over a hard base. GoGo said as much after the Juvy Turf.

Edit: and as I type Roy is being vanned off.

Oh, crap.

So sad to hear he is euthanized. Fractured shoulders a death sentence? I recall one well known horse recovered with that type of injury?

It really depends on the location and severity of the fracture.

I think you're referring to Your Host, Kelso's sire. He busted up his shoulder very badly and they opted to save him, which they did. However, fractures are highly individual things so I am sure they made the right decidion to put Rough Sailing down. Very sad nevertheless. I think his rider is OK, thank goodness.
