kedez2012 · That's such a bummer! I had really high hopes for him. Hopefully he'll come back to the track instead of being moved right to the breeding shed · 88 days ago ·

dani.pugh · Nobody can be sure, but i am inclined to think it was during the race. He is lightly raced, and going that fast, that long, especially on a turn, could not have been good for his legs. · 88 days ago ·

Dressage3295 · It was probably during the race or the cool down. It only takes one bad misstep, and when you have "babies" going that fast who have no proper balance, then you're bound to have a lot of missteps. · 88 days ago ·

TampaBayDowns Fan · If it was during the race, I would have loved to see him injury-free. I mean, that much fight in a horse with a fracture in his foot? That is heart right there. · 88 days ago ·

icyhotboo · TBDF-When running in the stretch, I felt something was wrong when he was giving his all after being passed, and not being able to regain the lead, as he's just so much superior to that field as to be unfair. Also give Johnny V credit for not moving to soon. That's why I rarely leave him out of an exotic, as he always has his horse in a position to win if the horse has, it or something goes wrong with the other horses. Hitting the 3/4 in 1:08.4 for 3yos in Feb is ungodly. · 88 days ago ·

rafirox · Violence has a good looking pedigree. MDO was a good ten furlong horse, IMO, placing in the DWC and BCC. He also won the Travers. He (As Amfuller said) hasn't had any really good males, and Violence could be the first. Violence is a very nice looking colt. · 157 days ago ·
