Racing is a dying sport, only track that will be running in 5yrs. is the ones with slot's to off set the income needed to offer big purses, and good horses. Most race fans are old folks, and we are dying off. Interested to see results of post medical exam, wouldn't be surprised to see them find exotic drugs in the filly, that go under the normal urin test. She ran so fast, with such a big heart, that her little ankles just exploded, what a shame and if this is true trainer and vet should be banned for life.
