Condolences to William Meaux with his horse he owned and trained at Delta Vivi's Magic (TX) who tragically pulled up in race #5 last night and had to be euthanized. I placed this horse in my stable mail after her close 2nd place effort on new years eve as a 2 YO. Very sad young filly would have been 3 YO in April.

Better Talk Now, winner of the 2004 Breeder's Cup Turf was euthanized today at age 18.
Loved that horse and loved his main jockey, Ramon Dominguez.

Santa Anita had its fifth horse fatality of the short fall meeting when G Q Covergirl injured both her front legs on Friday and was euthanized on the advice of the attending veterinarian. G Q Cover Girl was a 6-year-old mare who had won her last two races.
The horse was on the training track when the incident occurred. The surface, which is closest to the scoreboard, has historically caused the fewest number of breakdowns. However, all three training deaths this meeting have occurred on the inner surface, which is not used for racing. One of the training deaths was believed to be a heart attack and not a catastrophic limb injury. The two other fatalities were during racing.
G Q Covergirl, who is trained by two-time Kentucky Derby winner Doug O’Neill, won a $40,000 claiming race at Santa Anita on Oct. 4 and won an allowance/optional claiming race on Sept. 14 at Los Alamitos.
The death is sure to raise tensions at the track, which hosts the world championships of racing, the Breeders’ Cup, next Friday and Saturday. There was some question if Santa Anita would be allowed to continue to be the host of the event after 30 horses died during its winter/spring meet. Of those 30 horses, only one died after suffering an injury on the training track. On June 27, the board of the Breeders’ Cup voted to keep the event at Santa Anita.

I liked her. I have a soft spot for cheap horses who gut out wins.
