got hit with 30 day suspension. as for the horse (from drf link in previous post)
Quote:
Gary Contessa, the trainer of Freudian Storm, said his horse was bleeding out of his nostrils and had a concussion.
"He's going to be out a while," Contessa said Monday of the 4-year-old gelding. "He didn't stop bleeding out of the nostrils until late [Sunday]. I've been training horses 30 years, I've never seen a true horse concussion, but he was shaking his head. After we finally walked him and got him cooled out, he started colicking. Today, he's better. He's still got a little blood trickling from the nose. He hit his head hard."

Yep, he had already got hit with a five day suspension for another infraction, plus this 30 now...odds are he's not making many friends in the jocks room. After I saw the video, I thought for sure we'd be hearing some story about the two of them in a post-race brawl.

Fast-forward 16 months, and Freudian Storm stopped badly and collapsed in the stretch of the 7th race today at Finger Lakes. The chart only says "vanned off", but they had the screens out and he never got up again. I kept hearing heart attack in the buzz around the track, and if that's actually the case, you have to wonder if the concussion and heart attack are related. I know concussions can cause blood clots..
