What happened to the horse, Lauren's Charm, at Belmont this week?

"Lauren's Charm, 4-year-old filly making 18th start, first since Dec. 2, set pace along rail to far turn when she suddenly lost action, backed up quickly, was taken outside and eased by Fernando Jara when she collapsed and died, likely from a heart attack or aneurysm." \n\nJust more info on the horse, she was involved in a paddock accident, also at Belmont, in 2004 in which she broke Jose Santos's arm.

Yay for you for knowing about Silky Sullivan first off. He was one of the greatest horses of our time and is often over looked. I couldn't find anything about this filly however. But just from experience on a breeding farm, she was probably used as a broodmare after her racing days were over.

Well, for Merv Griffin's sake, I hope Stevie Wonderboy can run in the Belmont, cause Lord knows Merv Griffin needs the money.\nIn all seriousness, I think Stevie Wonderboy is injured and I don't recall reading anything lately about his working out or any future plans.  It's possible he is in training, but I follow horse racing 365 days a year, so I doubt it.\nStevie Wonderboy was a tremendous 2 year old last year and was the leading contender for the Kentucky Derby prior to his being injured.\nThere are few three year olds around that are able to get the Belmont distance of a mile and a half.  Its a distance that 99% of horses will never run again.  There are a few mile and a half races on the turf, but very, very few on the dirt.\nI would imagine by the time the Belmont rolls around in three weeks, it will be a very short field.  At this point, the only horse that ran in the Preakness that appears capable of getting the distance would be Bernadini.  The others like Brother Derek, Sweetnorthernsaint, Like Now, and many of the horses that ran in the Kentucky Derby just are not equipped to run that far against quality competition.\nA horse like Sunriver, trained by Todd Pletcher would be viable candidates to win a race at a mile and a half.  \nWe'll know more in about ten days or so.\nGood luck to all....

Barbaro appears to be a good horse but I favored Brother Derek in the Kentucky Derby and knew that with the post postion he had that it would be a difficult trip and the way he finished was extremely impressive and showed that if he had a better trip he would have at least made it a horserace if not winning it altogether, let's not forget that he is a grandson of Alydar whose heart and courage and speed was enormous and I believe this has been passed on plus he is from the Raise a Native sireline which has had great success in the "classic" races, (Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes and Belmont Stakes).Boxing the two of them would be smart and for the trifecta I would maybe throw Diabolical in the mix.

NO! Absolutely not. His appearance before the race very much had the look of a winner and there was nothing before the runners were loaded into the gate that could indicate that Barbaro was not ready to run his best race.\n\nAfter the premature break Barbaro was handily pulled up by the talented outrider and was easily led back to the gate. While this is considered extremely bad luck to overcome and win the race, it is standard procedure to reload the breaker and start the race. \n\nThe track veternarian, the trainer, the starter, his assistsants and the rider all had plenty of opportunity to observe Barbaro and his gait after this incident. NO ONE (I cannot emphasize that enough) made any observation that would lead them to consider he was not fit to start the race.\n\nPlease watch the race again at this fine website - \nhttp://www.kentuckyderby.com/2006/derby_videos/index.html?videonumber=195&videotype=racing\n\nYou will observe that several jumps after the 1/8 pole (that is the large black and white one) Barbaro takes a bad step for no apparent reason and the rider Edagr Prado reacts almost immedieately afterward to pull this beast from his furious charge. Barbaro knew he was in distrerss and reacted accordingly. \n\nAn extremely brave and determined animal, Barbaro was precisely trained by a master horseman and Olympic medal winner Michael Matz. He has reacted most positively to his radical treatment because he places great trust in his human handlers. \n\nBarabaro is remarkable in nearly every way when compared to our recent fine thoroughbreds, it is a tradegy of this sport that we must accept if we all are to continue to enjoy the fine animals on the race track. I will always consider him a champion.\n\nMurph

what happened??  I missed it

You COULD say that Afleet Alex was injured in that tangle, but we could never prove it.  Other than that, probably that 1993 race with Union City was the only serious injury.\n\nI'm sure there were many horses that were injured in the Preakness, like Sweetnorthernsaint's hoof injury, but it's those minor injuries that we all forget.  It's the Union Citys and the Barbaros that are etched in our minds.

Bernardini won.\n\nBarbaro suffered a double-fracture and is at the horse hospital.\n\nBittersweet victory and a sad day for the gentle giant!

Barbaro's cast came off his right hind yesterday (Monday). It's still in a splint though to support his laminitic left hind. He may be moved to Lael Farm or Florida soon.

ruffian\n\nRuffian is buried near the finish line in the infield at Belmont Park. It is often said, "she died on the lead."

according to one of the vets, his injury is very serious.  Sounds like he fractured two bones in his ankle and if it constricts a blood vessel, he's done.  What a sad event.  I love horse racing, and this horse had potential to win the triple crown.

AQHA members I believe have the ability to look up horses...or you can call the AQHA with the registered name and get info. Unless that has changed - I did that and you can get progeny reports and other info online. APHA I'm not sure - doesn't hurt to call or email the registry with the horse's name and ask. I'm not sure if it's been changed or not - with more celebrities getting those breeds it might change for privacy reasons. \nTB doesn't give out info even the last owner. They can tell you if a mare if she's had a foal reported (indicating she's alive) but no owner contact info.

Sounds like he's already cut another filly from the herd & taken her for a ride!! Move along!!
