Heavy hearts today. Yesterday, our brilliant colt Cornucopian sustained a catastrophic injury. We worked very closely with our veterinary team, and after hearing every expert opinion available, the kindest and clearest decision was to let him go with dignity. He was a brilliant colt with a huge heart and a partnership and fan base that loved him dearly. RIP.

“No change overnight. Waiting to get an update following the veterinarian's evaluation and assessment this morning regarding a plan.”
From @caCHRB veterinarian Dr. Jeff Blea:
“(Cornucopian) was taken to the hospital for radiographs and evaluation by the veterinarians. Currently the horse is comfortable and in stable condition awaiting a treatment plan.”

Simply Ravishing cooled out sound. She has a minor breathing issue that we are unable to resolve in time for the Kentucky Oaks. We are disappointed and will do what’s right for her. At her best she has freaky talent and she showed that in the Grade 1 Alcibiades @Keeneland
