Was hoping he could get some farm time then train at SAR and aim for a listed stakes or allowance race there. But that is a pipe dream.

A bunch of veterinary and policy changes announced for Churchill this week. Too many to list, see here: https://paulickreport.com/news/the-biz/ ... ic-sensors
Some highlights:
Some highlights:
Really good stuff. Excited about the PET scanner and seeing StrideSAFE in action.HIWU will conduct out-of-competition blood and hair samples of horses competing in the Kentucky Derby and Kentucky Oaks as well as undercard races before entries are taken and will be sent to an HIWU certified laboratory for immediate testing. Other jurisdictions will also obtain out-of-competition samples on behalf of HISA/HIWU from horses that are not stabled in Kentucky.
Veterinarians shall not have contact with an entered horse within 24 hours of post time unless approved by the regulatory veterinarian.
No medications are permitted within 48 hours of the race. In the event of a medical emergency, the Stewards will authorize treatment and the horse will be scratched.
Any owner or trainer previously stabled at a CDI track who sells or transports a horse for purposes of slaughter will have stalls permanently revoked at all CDI properties.
Implemented Technology: As an industry leader, Churchill Downs is investing in new technologies to help identify horses that may pose an increased risk potential. This allows for early veterinary intervention in an effort to diagnose and treat the horse before serious injury occurs. As a result, all starters will wear StrideSAFE biometric sensor technology to detect changes in a horse’s gait to help identify inconsistencies or early warning signs of possible developing injury. Additionally, Churchill Downs has partnered with Hagyard Equine Medical Institute to provide an on-site Positron Emission Tomography (“PET”) unit. This cutting edge diagnostic imaging unit is only the second PET machine permanently located at a racetrack in the United States.

Oaks field:
1. Tapit Jenallie
2. Gin Gin
3. Where's my Ring
4. Regulatory Risk
5. Thorpedo Anna
6. Lemon Muffin
7. Fiona's Magic
8. Tarifa
9. Everland
10. Into Champagne
11. Ways and Means
12. Power Squeuze
13. Just FYI
14. Leslie's Rose
It's neat that they are holding the draw in the paddock, but the timing is pretty odd. Hopefully they don't rush through the Derby draw as much, I always enjoy the little story blurbs and interviews.

Found a different stream by the Courier Journal, but way too late to catch up. Churchill needs to get its broadcasting act together, the works show has been terrible as well.
Fierceness just drew #17, probably a good draw but need to see who's on either side of him.

17 is a lot better than drawing inside the other speed... no doubt that Dornoch will blitz for it with that draw, and there will be others up there with him. Fierceness should be able to stay outside of the scrum, which is what he needs to do.
Hopefully the paddock experiment was a one-off, because that was something of a disaster. Oh well.

Yes he really has a good chance if he can handle the kickback and huge field, noise, circus atmosphere etc. .CoronadosQuest wrote: ↑Sat Apr 27, 2024 7:42 pm I, personally, really like Post 11 for Forever Young.

Not me starting bawling and "crying in the club" (driving home from work) when they started talking about Stronghold's mom

Immediately following Dornoch getting post 1 is a description in which Gargan said (paraphrase) "yeah we need to keep him out of the inside."
