    • The unheralded NZ horse Magill that almost held on but still lengths ahead of the 3rd horse, pulled up in a distressed state and was transferred to a local vet
    • As Birchley said "it takes a very good 2yr old to win the KM".
    • the horses i have must be smarter than the horses you know as mine are quite smart.I've got one that smart that i always tell my wife,i wish it had been around when i was doing my school homework as i would have got better marks ,had it been there. then we have  another one. the last time i had one get loose,i was out of the cart adjusting some gear and then i  half tripped when it pulled foward as i was swapping sides . I just let it go as i thought i'm too old to get dragged and no big deal,it will just go back to the stables and no one else was there. But instead it  went and did its fast work against the pylons,running the 2 rounds like i normally did. I have to say it didn't over exert itself.Lazy bugga.Then as i waited near the entrance thinking it might run off when it was finished,but it pulled up just after the post,like i normally did,turned around slowly and just stood there facing me, waiting for me to take the reins and jump back in the cart.  gee that was a bad accident your dad had. that must have been a frighterning thing for your family. what happened with your horse sly davita was an example of just how horses can be impacted by falls.Life isn't always fair. thats why i feel for the connections of the horse becker. Who knows,the horse may be ruined for life,then again it may bounce back as it was a fall on grass. we had one,the horse we were following got badly checked , almost went down and then we got ploughed into from behind. My horse did a remarkable job not to fall,but she pulled some muscle in her rear end and it took 8 months before she came sound again. I myself had a sore neck for a year . Horses are fragile when they fall. people are fragile.safety should always be prioritised.thats been my point
    • I'd hardly call multiple Group 2 OZ winners "third tier"!
    • Less than 48 hours after Team Godolphin celebrated Horse of the Year success, among other plaudits, at the Eclipse Awards ceremonies in nearby Palm Beach, KNIGHTSBRIDGE (h, 5, Nyquist–Tyburn Brook, by Bernardini) kept the good times rolling, as he contested a hot pace outside of his less-experienced chief market rival Life and Times (Justify), got the better of that duel turning for home and kicked on gamely to take out Saturday's GIII Fred W. Hooper Stakes at Gulfstream Park. Favored at 4-5 off a maiden success at the graded level in the seven-furlong GIII Mr. Prospector Stakes last time, the homebred bounced away alertly from gate six and argued the pace from the outside, as Life and Times, big-figure winner of each of his two career starts to date, showed the way through an opening quarter mile in :23.64 down the chute and they were at each other after four furlongs in :45.25. Going nicely in hand on the turn, Knightsbridge nosed in front under a hold at the five-sixteenths, opened a winning margin and held sway to the wire, as 26-1 Back Em Up (Take Charge Indy) spiced up the exotics. Life and Times managed to hold on for third. Lifetime Record: 7-5-1-1. O/B-Godolphin (KY); T-Bill Mott   The post Knightsbridge Wins Battle and War In Fred W.
