Did icecapade Have soundness issues? I know shenanigans broke both her legs at some point. I swear I remember reading in a biography about ruffian that icecapade broke down and that's why he was retired. But someone just said he didn't have soundness issues

I know Shenanigans broke her leg once and it was similar to ruffian where she thrashed after surgery, never heard she broke her leg twice. I think the biggest issue with Ruffian was Reviewer (I won't back down on this but that stud should've been gelded never sent to the shed). As for Icecapade I never heard of him being unsound, I have heard he was crazy which is why they ultimately retired him from racing.TapitsGal wrote: ↑Thu Mar 28, 2024 5:10 pm Did icecapade Have soundness issues?

Shenanigans broke 2 legs waking up from colic surgery. Reviewer broke his 4 times.
I can't find anything about Icecapade being unsound either, just highly temperamental to the point some considered him crazy. The Janneys sold him because of that.
Perhaps it was On To Glory who got injured? I can't find much about him, he only raced 7 times but didn't enter stud until age 6.
