Mike in SB · The injury of horses especially the catastrophic injurys on the track is the biggest problem in racing today. I belived it is the main reason of the decline of racing from a popular sport to a disappearing niche sport. Every time a horse is destroyed on the track racing loses hundreds or thousands of fans if it is a big race on TV. I know horses have always been injured on the track and can break a leg running in a pasture, but peoples attitudes about animals are different today and racing will not survive if it is not made safer. · 537 days ago ·

4everZenyatta · Mike, racing cannot be 'made' safer. It is a sport with athletes and those athletes get injured. Sadly, the athletes are horses and cannot be told to get 3 weeks of bed rest to run again. They are animals. People need to understand that these horses are doing what they love and whenever a horse hurts itself, they are running so hard because they want to win. They want to please us. We can't make them not do that. We never will. · 537 days ago ·

HorseDynasty · It was a sad, tragic weekend. I have to agree with Mike in SB. There are things that can be done in attempt to create a safer sport and hopefully this is enough to at least have the industry wake up and realize they need to make some changes and can no longer turn a blind eye or sweep it under the rug. True, it will never be injury free, but that does not mean that we ignore the issue altogether, we owe the horses that at the very least. · 537 days ago ·

AndyCrane · It is sad but sadly its apart of the sport. I have delt with this in auto racing as well and its never easy. As the owners,trainers etc have sadness now, they need to remember the joy as well. In auto racing we always said best way to honor those who have fallen is to race on. So for the stables who lost champions this weekend I say God bless you and Race on. · 537 days ago ·

Mary AliceKier · Thank you for this worthy tribute to our grand and magnificent equine athletics - they leave a hoof print on our hearts and souls! This was a sad and tragic weekend and it's difficult to deal with the loss of so many - particularly for those of us who try and support Hollywood Park in person and not in front of the tv. I love this sport and always worry about public reaction. I also hope that Hollywood Park makes sure that its Turf track is safe for the future races of this period. Blessings to all of those wonderful horses! · 536 days ago ·

Galex

Pulled up in the Prevue...does not look good for him. So Brilliant was indeed brilliant. Don't know what the heck happened to my choice Empire Way, maybe too quick a turn around?

ruhlmann · This looks like a very competative field. Brother Francis has been on my horses to watch list, not sure if he's good enough to win the HOL Prevue, but he will be my pick. His maiden race was very impressive, he broke slow, was racing wide, & just blew past the winner after the wire. · 545 days ago ·

Mary Z. · Why not? He didn't work that hard to get his maiden win. I read all these comments about 2yos, all horses really, not racing as often as they used to, so what's wrong with this late starting 1/2 to RD running 11 days after his last race? Workouts are more frequent than that. I hope he handles the move up. If he bucks his shins, you can blame me. It'll be all my fault. · 545 days ago ·

Galex

Galex owns the only black type in two generations of his female family, but he has inbreeding to the blue hen Weekend Surprise through her sons A.P. Indy (sire of Flatter) and Summer Squall (sire of Othello). BC Classic champ Stevie Wonderboy has the same inbreeding.
