My mother was watching that race. Before it began she
had mentioned to her partner that she noticed a bit of a limp in the horse.
Then the race began and....that's all she wrote.
No kidding? I didn't see the race, just the recaps showing only the
aftermath. If your mother could see that limp, I seriously question why the
owner and
trainer didn't see it and why the jockey couldn't feel it. Trust me -- when
a horse is just the tiniest bit *off*, an experienced rider can feel it. And
those jockeys are more experienced than most. If it's true that the horse
came into the race limping, that's just the saddest part of the whole mess.
