Epicenter gets it. He did more. Breaking down in a race doesn’t count as being beat.

Bloodhorse posted an article about Epicenter:. Fracture is closed. Better than not. Fingers and toes crossed for him.

Since there are people out there who have co-opted social media as a way to promote an agenda by posting/Tweeting false information, I wouldn't be surprised if some anti-racing zealots are pushing the "news" that horses have died at this big event...even if that isn't true.
I fear many ordinary occasional fans may see those Tweets/posts and believe them.

Zedan really wants to win the Saudi Cup, so I just always assumed Taiba was running at 4. Plus no stud deal was ever announced. I wonder if Zedan is the reason Country Grammer is running next year as well.CoronadosQuest wrote: ↑Sat Nov 05, 2022 6:44 pm I dont think Ive heard either way but is Taiba supposed to run as a 4 year old?

That is very good news. Hopefully if a fracture is found can repair surgically - Dr Bramlage likely surgeon.Izvestia wrote: ↑Sat Nov 05, 2022 6:59 pm Bloodhorse posted an article about Epicenter:. Fracture is closed. Better than not. Fingers and toes crossed for him.

I saw someone call him "overrated" and then double down after being told that he was injured. You really just have to wonder about some people.
So glad to hear that the fracture was closed. Sounds like Rosario got him stopped before the worst could happen.

Didn't Animal Kingdom suffer a hip/pelvis fracture in his Belmont? They gave him plenty of time off, and IIRC, he came back with that excellent run in the BC Mile. Went on to win the World Cup.

I hope they run Flightline in the Pegasus. It's just so great to see him run so I'd really like to see him one more time.
