Atlantic's Smile working brilliantly for 2nd start under Baker's watch and though improvement needed yet from 4yo debut, half sis of Johannesburg Smile has the upside to warrant confidence. Galiana nipped Winning Image at DEL, but has reacted after big efforts previously and regression more likely than the improvement needed to rebuff Willet..

From Adsit, Lavender Road still listed as stable overnight but not necessarily free and clear of issues including neurological damage. Will update everyone later and appreciates everyone's prayers and well wishes.

Steve, I don't know if you have access to the vets there to ask questions of them, but I am curious as to how many cases of heat stroke they have seen in horses before they run the race.
I have attended a lot of very hot weather race days over the last 30 years and have seen many many cases after the race is run, but don't recall ever seeing a horse go down after simply warming up. Maybe this is common and I simply haven't noticed, but this case seems very unique.

It depends on the horse. If she's a non-sweater that internalizes her heat, that can trigger the convulsions. It didn't seem hot enough here yesterday to warrant special considerations for heat stroke or heat stress. There may be something else involved in this case. I'll have Dr. Palmer and/or Dr. Allday on today to discuss/explain.

Well done Mr. Byk................really enjoying the A-B-C method of displaying the tickets. Trying to get away myself from the 'caveman' approach to making my plays. Between your 'live' examples and the book by Steve Crist you can't get much better instruction. Thx.
