That race was awful! We were watching at dinner and it was so sad and we're not even horse fans.
It was heartbreaking. A fraction of a second, and the career of a really promising horse is over, at least so far as racing goes.
I'm back from my travels with no kiddie pool to show for it. I judged my van too narrow.
At least the *town* trip is over.
It really was a tragic race.
I just hope he'll at least be OK, even if he can't run again. They don't know anything more yet, do they?
Haven't heard anything new.
Just a darn shame. Poor horse.
YIKES! Glad you got to it in time!
Those flowers are just gorgeous, Rosie. Did you plant them just after you got there, or were they there already?
What happened to which horse?
They were there...one of the plants I was giving the benefit of the doubt earlier this year. There are a few more that haven't proven themselves yet...may start rooting things out soon.
Just put down potting soil in the front for a buncha Cosmos...I hope those work! They'd be lovely.
Triple Crown hopeful Barbaro loses... Seriously injured during race
Speaking of volunteer plants...I discovered I have a patch of mint by the door. So long as it doesn't try to take over the planet, I'm quite happy to have it!

It's sleeeeping!
That is just *nasty*.
*shudder*
He's just pining for the.... whatever possums pine fore ;~D
It didn't look inclined to wake up ever again.
Yuuuuck.
The level of mummification is astounding. It must be dry under the house, I guess that's the good part.
Dang! I was reading about him on the race thread earlier. Sounds like he's lame, but should be ok for stud work later, huh?
