Waiting for news on ...

[Katewerk]

The veteran Spud Spivens was eased at the top of the stretch in the 6th at Santa Anita. The last glimpse I got was of Garcia pulling him up as the horse bore out wide toward the outer rail.
That horse has run for a long time and was a decent runner, although now he's running in lower-level claiming. I really hope he's going to make it to retirement.

Hope this guy is okay. Been following him since his debut.

I think he's ok. The facebook page published two photos of him on March 9th, one that looks to be new, and results of his March 9th race.

Royal Saint in the 8th at Laurel. He dropped like a stone. From the tone of voice of the track announcer I'm guessing it's not good news.

I was trying to watch this race and one at Oaklawn at the same time so I only caught Royal Saint going down out of the corner of my eye.

In an unfortunate coincidence about a decade or so ago I used to follow another horse named Royal Saint who also died in a race I was watching.

Chart says he broke down and fell- that generally means he has been released from pain.

That's what I was afraid of.

Found a tweet on Twitter from Jim Dunleavy that Royal Saint was euthanized.

Nowalking was pulled up on the backstretch of the Triple Bend at Santa Anita. He was moving very awkwardly but his rider was having a hard time getting him stopped.

Phil D'Amato says Nowalking injured himself in Triple Bend. Didn't disclose details, but said "owners will have a tough decision to make"

Two horses went down approaching the quarter pole of the 7th at Gulfstream (a 1 1/16-mile $25,000 maiden claiming on the grass), Stormy's Return and Tito Control. It looked bad, never good when two horses fall.

ETA: Caton Bredar just gave an update on the horses; Tito Control looks to be OK but will be checked back at the barn, Stormy's Return was euthanized on the track. Both jocks were up and walking.

The Ron Ellis-trained Bobbie Lincoln, winner of the 5th at Santa Anita, was dismounted on the backstretch by Joe Talmo after her win. Vanned off, per TVG.
