@ThruTheBridle Bingo!!!!!! Oddly enough, I think all of the vet scratches are working because his horses have been looking better in the mornings lately 😂

Guess Brian didn’t want to ride lame horses anymore….

@Chrissy_Ottb Why is the trainer held responsible? It’s not up to them. The owner can send their horse wherever they want. Also considering Sonata Stable literally owns the track in Puerto Rico, it’s obvious he will send his horses there who are no longer competitive in Florida.

Here are the trainers who have sent horses to Puerto Rico.

@paulickreport How embarrassing that you’re cheating with testosterone and your horses still can’t hit the board….at Fairmount

Young trainer Vance Childers will serve a 46-month suspension after his veterinarian, Dr. Donald McCrosky, "intentionally misrepresented and concealed the substances he was administering" to horses running under Childers' name. Read more: tinyurl.com/yfawmhy7

@theTDN @thorntontd How much was the rider fined? Hopefully she’s not so dumb to know she doesn’t need to check before every race.

The stewards at Belterra Park have imposed a $1,000 fine on that track's clerk of scales, Jose Sanchez, Jr., for failing to check the weight of apprentice jockey Summer Pauly before she rode the 3-2 favorite in the second race May 2. @thorntontd reports: thoroughbreddailynews.com/belterra-scale… 📸: Coady Media

@Somobomb18 He’ll have business with Sadler and that’s it…

Oh man, Bell Curve to Cali. He’s probably top 3 there.

@jjbigblue @CardChronicle Staying out of the spotlight like any classy man would do. He congratulated her right after the race and then let her have her moment- he knew it was about her.

@CardChronicle where is her husband? I found that rather odd.

Guy in the back with the Woodford absolutely stealing the moment

@Shaunjames1974 @TJWalkerRadio I agree… looks like he actually makes contact with Great White and that’s what sets him off. I would be absolutely fuming.

@TJWalkerRadio It was the pony riders fault (grey pony ) what was he doing there and so close to him .

This handler saved the field from more chaos. Well done.

@sootiekay @johnennis35 @FanDuel_Racing @KentuckyDerby @HorseRacingKK @ChurchillDowns I would blame the pony horse that bumped into the back of him before I would blame the jockey

@johnennis35 @FanDuel_Racing @KentuckyDerby @HorseRacingKK @ChurchillDowns He needs a new jockey. Totally his fault.

Great white is perfect after his mishap today ,@FanDuel_Racing @KentuckyDerby @HorseRacingKK @ChurchillDowns

@BobbyAtTheSpa I think it’s good they showed up. It showed horses think for themselves, everybody was Ok, and how the sport is taken preventative measures to avoid anything that could be detrimental to the health and safety of the horses.

Am I the only one surprised NBC aired the replay of Great White going over pre-race? For a sport fighting perception issues, that felt like a strange call, especially showing him trot off in clear discomfort. On the biggest stage, why show it?

@DCHI23 That morning line clearly came from someone who can’t handicap international racing, because 30/1 is absurd.

T O stands for…ticked off. In I’m ticked off you morning lined me 30/1. Put some respect on his name.

@GhostofSwiftH They don’t do vet exams with 150+ lbs on their back. The extra weight can make the difference. Not rocket science.

I just want to know how a Vet from Hagyard gave the Puma a glowing vet report yet a Trainer said he was off on Left front and wont pass and saw it from afar and the Trainer to be proven right

@2yovar Hopefully this will push trainers to stop on horses right when they start to show issues, instead of trying to push them through it just to get to the races.

Beyond the debate over whether a horse should or shouldn’t be scratched. One thing is certain: the more advanced and rigorous the detection technology becomes, the more imperfections in a horse’s health will be found. As a result, more and more horses will be prevented from running purely out of caution. And when that happens, there won’t be a single owner or trainer left willing to endure such an unforgiving regime

@nonwinnersof2L @ChurchillDowns @KennyMcPeek @DailyRacingForm It’s so easy to do right by the horse.

Here is a great example of how a trainer should put horse first. It sucks to scratch yourself out of @ChurchillDowns Oaks day of race! Trainer Whit Beckman just made that decision after his filly was not 100%. We need more trainers like him than @KennyMcPeek. @DailyRacingForm

@GhostofSwiftH All anybody needs to do is go to Churchill and watch training one morning. You’ll see who has the most sore horses on the backside… Mcpeek is easily top 3.

McPeek needs to STFU . Dudes a butcher Dude had 2 horses escape from his barn past 2 years at OP . One horse actually killed someone to

@Shawn_Van_V @PR_ChelseaH I would be willing to bet my large inheritance that if you did a nerve block on all 4 of his legs from the fetlock down- he would jog near perfect. Horses aren’t born moving like that. That’s human error and bad training.

@BeatriceWolcock @PR_ChelseaH The horse isn't lame. The horse jogs different. Just like every one of them

One of the best experts we have said the PET scan results were "most likely not associated with an increased risk for breakdown."

@mcgeeizme @fatbaldguyracin He’s another butcher who’s been busted for injecting horses before breezes. Probably not a good source…

@fatbaldguyracin Ask Peter miller

They got him for speaking out last week . Mr Scratch I am told by many trainer is very vindictive

@paulickreport The horse had an abnormal pet scan and his trainer is still complaining? Just because the abnormality isn’t the immediate risk, his compromised movement makes him compensate in other places that puts him at risk.

McPeek said the scratched Kentucky Derby horse underwent both X-rays and a PET scan; check out the link for more comments from the frustrated trainer: paulickreport.com/news/triple-cr…

@AHPDrew Right To Party has been moving terrible for weeks. How he wasn’t scratched sooner is beyond me.

Will we ever get reasons for why these scratches happen? They just robbed Chris Elliott of his first of 20 Kentucky Derby’s

@MachmerHall @PR_ChelseaH What issues have you ran into?

@BeatriceWolcock @PR_ChelseaH ahhhhhhhhhh... yeah right. in theory.

There were 58 regulatory vet scratches for unsoundness during Keeneland's April meet. There have been 12 through the first four days of Churchill's Spring meet. I did some digging into the numbers; here's what the data tells us, and what it doesn't.
