Mandella said Geaux Rocket Ride has condylar fracture that broke through skin. While no sesamoid fracture, ligaments are stretched. Plan is for arthrodesis Sunday. "It’s going to be a delicate situation, it’s going to be lucky to make it, but we’re going to do everything we can."

Prayers for GGR. Maybe inbreeding generation after generation isn’t a good idea. Maybe breeding precocious speed on top of fragile speed for generations … Maybe the current joint injections…. When CD, SA & Saratoga all have the same issues in one year, you should read the room.
