Wha...what kind of bees were they? That must have been terrifying.
To be honest, "Horse dies after bee attack" sounds like a Clickhole or Onion title.

Medina Spirit dead at three, a $700,000 purchase dead as an unraced 3yo, Princess Noor retired after an injury at 2, all the controversy surrounding Baffert and himself and Zedan STILL supports him? jesus christ. i mean, this was more of a Baffert assistant thing being at Los Alamitos, but goes to show how much Zedan cares about the animals that give him moneyKatewerk wrote: ↑Fri Jan 13, 2023 10:46 am Unraced 3yr old Alsalam (Nyquist x Soul Crusader)

Someone on twitter was bragging that this horse was such a speedball in his 2 year old under tack showing- and then they also mentioned he was biologically still ONE when he did it!! It’s no surprise the poor horse ended up this way!Katewerk wrote: ↑Fri Jan 13, 2023 10:46 am Unraced 3yr old Alsalam (Nyquist x Soul Crusader)

it definitely is, but it's still beyond me how some of these owners just... clearly don't care? even if they choose to be d*cks and not care about the horse, do they just not care about their reputation either? money isn't a problem for Zedan, of course, but it baffles me that he just doesn't seem to care about his image, yk?Katewerk wrote: ↑Fri Jan 13, 2023 4:23 pmOr it's an industry hooked on fragile speed, and the speediest of the fragile end up with top trainers.brunanas wrote: ↑Fri Jan 13, 2023 3:22 pmMedina Spirit dead at three, a $700,000 purchase dead as an unraced 3yo, Princess Noor retired after an injury at 2, all the controversy surrounding Baffert and himself and Zedan STILL supports him? jesus christ. i mean, this was more of a Baffert assistant thing being at Los Alamitos, but goes to show how much Zedan cares about the animals that give him moneyKatewerk wrote: ↑Fri Jan 13, 2023 10:46 am Unraced 3yr old Alsalam (Nyquist x Soul Crusader)

Mare Miss Saigon (by Literati) has died age 30 at Old Friends' MHG Annex.
Her best foal is Playersfirstchoice, a 2x winner.
I've never heard of the MHG Annex before now.
