surprisingly it was just announced Medina tested positive for steroids.
The horse who finished first and was disqualified for interference in the 2019 Kentucky Derby, Maximum Security, was similarly purchased for a ridiculously low amount. In fact, his first race was a Maiden Claimer for $16,000! I can't understand how it is possible to have misjudged that horse's ability so poorly. And it wasn't because of the drug they later found in his system following the Derby, because he later went on to win other top-of-the-line stake races.
Congratulations to Kentucky Derby 🐎 winner Betamethasone Spirit!
A friend ‘s sister in Fl adopted an abandoned horse.
The owner had moved away, leaving many horses without food or water, just to forage for themselves in a pasture. A delivery man saw the horses over the course of a week, as they moved closer from the back of the pasture to the front in search of grass to eat. They were very thin and starving so he called animal control.
The horses were taken, fed, watered and given medical attention and finally put up for adoption.
The horse my friend’s sister got had a tattoo in her mouth so when they got all settled in, she finally researched it- probably after about 6 months or so.
The horse is one of Secretariat’s granddaughters.
