Inky, I wouldn't worry about anything nearly that dramatic. At least not more than is normal with horses. They'e brilliant at hurting themselves, although you're right they prefer to do it whenever the connections have some kind of plan -- that's the same whether you're talking about a big race...

Contrary to popular opinion, the presence of testosterone doesn't make the fairer sex more likely to breakdown -- catastrophic or otherwise. One of the girls will be a late scratch. That's where I'd bet my $2.

I agree 100-percent. Unbridled's Song's offspring do exactly what they're bred to do. The stallion had precocious speed along with structural unsoundness. His most successful foals have inherited his speed and his weaknesses. Midshipman among them. Unbridled's Song hit himself before the 1996...

Yeah, we didn't see enough Unbridled's Song in the 2008 Derby. And blood shows up better on grays, huh?

If there was anything you could do, it's way too late now. It's carnage. Count the bodies.

More than 20 at Last Call. And counting? So much for a round dozen. Or even a bakers' dozen.

At this rate, those unedited press releases may have to be online only. Should have been more clear -- looks like double that across the newsroom. Maybe an even dozen?

More than double that now. Something is more than wrong.

Looks like it will be at least five in Richmond. Two or more from sports.

Someone who doesn't post much can't possibly be a dedicated lurker. Right?
