I'm so sorry, TTM.  He sure was a grand looking boy.  Condolences to all his fans and connections.

Yes he was ... Thanks for taking the time to check him out ...

I still haven't had the time to figure out how to get pictures on this site yet.

Top Billing was just pulled up in the Mountainview at Penn National.

Said Top Billing walked onto the van - so fingers crossed

Protonico pulled up and vanned after the finish line in today's JC Gold Cup, reportedly lame but without obvious sign of injury.  They are hoping he will be OK.

[Raven]

Good news,hopefully! Thanks

[peeptoad]

I hope Protonico is okay... and I'll keep my mouth shut on the rest of that.

Oh my = Come on Grand Tito= get better - wish they could review all the successful treatments and actually find a cure - not case of this disease should be taken lightly

On the plus side it sounds like they caught the laminitis early, so that probably gives him the best chance. If he doesn't recover 100% hopefully they just go ahead and retire him.

Alas. Both Recepta and Grand Tito are gone, due to laminitis.  Condolences to their connections and fans.

Do you have a link for Grand Tito? I saw the Recepta article (very sad- I was a fan of hers), but someone else posted about Grand Tito on the other board and I can't find a thing about his death, only the prior article that I posted.

I seem to recall seeing something, maybe twitter or some such, but could not now again find it.  Horse Racing Nation does list him as deceased, and they're generally pretty good on such info.  Digging around further I did find a Spanish language article dated November 5 (link to translated version below):

OK, thanks. I'm not doubting he died, but it's strange there are no articles of his death and all the major sources have the articles abut him having a mild case of laminitis back in Oct.

In any case RIP Grand Tito...

[Catalina]

Since the laminitis reportedly was caused by a shoeing incident, the connections maybe weren't anxious to draw any attention to his death.  Not exactly good press.

[peeptoad]

Ah, yes maybe...
