There is a colt self-identifying as a filly so it can carry less weight at the Preakness.

-- joke --

LOL. I’m going to try that out on my horse breeding kinfolk.

Is it named Mare Pete?

Someone needs to educate you on the physical characteristics of males and females.

Good one.

"Change Your Spots", a late entry at the Preakness, is expected to drastically alter the odds.

"Baffert headed to the winner’s circle on the same day that his colt Havnameltdown went down with a fatal left leg injury in an undercard race. Baffert said he and his team were in shock.

It was another dark moment for a sport already reeling from the deaths of seven horses at Churchill Downs in a 10-day span leading up to the Kentucky Derby."

Another sad day for horse racing.........

Didn't realize this thread was from 2022.

My comment was directed to today's Preakness where the owner of the winner lost a colt to injury in an earlier race.........

"The Preakness day card took a tragic turn during the Chick Lang Stakes on Saturday when Havnameltdown, trained by Bob Baffert, broke down and was euthanized on the track. Jockey Luis Saez was hurled to the ground and taken to a nearby Sinai hospital."
