Personal Gem status (Bobby Grayson trained)

Anyone know the status of Personal Gem, who was pulled up after the 5th race at Hollywood Park on Saturday (7/13)? Looked like bad hind end issues, but she could have thrown out a stifle. She is trained/owned by Bobby Grayson.

Straight Story

I've been following Straight Story for some time and see that he was pulled up and vanned off in a Gr.3 at Woodbine today (July 1st). Does anyone have any information about how he is?

I'll Have Another was fine in the post parade for the Santa Anita Derby. He should have been ponying Lava Man , who was tossing his head and acting like he was running! It will be interesting to see how Lava Man responds to the huge crowd and the excitement of Derby Day--and how much he'll be able ...

I hadn't gotten any workouts on him or entries either, so I thought maybe someone might know something.

Coil

Does anyone know what's happening (or not happening) with Coil? First in the Haskell, second in the Swaps and third in the Goodwood and I haven't seen anything on him.

I agree with BDW. Incidentally, I got to the saddling paddock about 5 minutes after the horses did and had some interesting observations. I'll Have Another was extremely professional there. Longview Drive looked quiet, but sweat was dripping from under the saddle towel and it got worse as he got clo...

From what I'd read, he had been looking around with blinkers on and didn't pay attention to the competition. I guess Harrington thought that if he saw the competition he might be more competitive.

Who's Zenyatta going to?

Maybe I missed it somewhere in one of the many postings about her, but does anyone know who Zenyatta is going to be bred to?

I thought he might be a bleeder, too, but what I was wondering about was the comment on his pedigree here that he was standing at stud in 2011. Now he's here (if he really was at stud in 2011)! Wonder if some of our Australian posters could enlighten us on that. Regardless, it was a remarkable race ...

Pressday

I see there's a horse running in Santa Anita's 7th race --6 1/2 furlongs on the turf-- today (2/9/12) named Pressday and he's 5 year old (Sept. 2007 foaling date) 2 year old champion, grade 1 stakes winner from Australia. I also see the information on him in Pedigreequery lists that he was to stand ...

Hi Louis, Thank you so much for your concern for those of us worried about Teasing Bernie. It's one thing to read something in the print media or online, but it's quite another when you hear from someone who's seen the horse or is connected with him/her. Glad to know he isn't injured. He tried to ge...

Louis: Teasing Bernie

Hi Louis, I saw the last race at Santa Anita on Saturday at Santa Anita and Teasing Bernie went down really hard and didn't get up, although the chart said he walked onto the van. He is trained by James Cassidy . Do you have any information on Teasing Bernie? He was making a strong move and clipped ...

For those of you who were concerned, too, I got a 3 furlong workout on him today--fastest of 18 at 35.20 at Santa Anita. Looks like he's ok.

Fast Bullet

Does anyone have any information about Fast Bullet , who was scratched out of the 4th at Churchill Downs today (Friday)? The camera was so far away from what was going on and it was hard to tell--except that it looked like Fast Bullet was bouncing around in the gate, Garcia was off the horse, the ou...
