everything about this is just so horribly sad... it was tweeted that she passed 'peacefully' and i hope that is in fact true, but find it hard to believe

It sounds like they knew this was gonna happen & induced her labor & euthanized her shortly after. regardless, it sounds absolutely horrible for everyone involved

i asked abt induced labour once and was told it's pretty much never done due to how important the foal's position is. i didn't read that they had done so, i just assumed they babied her along til due day.
not that either scenario ends without her passing. what miserable news to log in to. so, so sorry for her connections.

With the fact she devolved laminitis the end of her suffering was probably the most peaceful part

"He received around-the-clock, world-class veterinary care, but unfortunately could not be saved."

Ugh. Poor little guy. And poor Black Caviar for having to go through birthing while suffering so badly.

do we know how far along she was into the pregnancy?

Well Aug 1 is when all southern Hemisphere horses celebrate there birthdays, like jan 1 for northern Hemisphere. Her last foal was born in August 2023 on Black Caviars birthday. So this foal was early but it depends on the cover date

do we know how far along she was into the pregnancy?

Her last service date was 13 Sept 2023 so she would have been around her due date

That’s sad—he was only 59. I thought he did a nice job of carrying on her legacy.

Bad wreck today at Thistledown, Chargina euthanized, and Ferrin Petersen was sent to the hospital. No updates on her condition yet, but it looked terrible.
Edited to add: TDN now has an update that she broke her collarbone.
