Very sad. Let's not jump to a conclusion about the turf course. These things happen.

Supposedly watering it just makes that turf course slippery and soft if you listen to some people. That's what Garret Gomez was saying in his interview. Called the turf course slippery and soft.

Thats the point, and it was watered in an attempt to keep Workforce, right?

2 years of BC races at S.A. no breakdowns. Im sad for that colt who fell because he slipped on an over-watered turf course and sure am hoping that Atta Boy is not looking at fractured sesamoids.

Atta Boy Roy is reported to be ok as per his trainer .

The Churchill vets found nothing wrong with him pre-race.
