The filly carried far to much muscle for a two year old filly. It isn’t right to be giving animals these drugs and it will have a long term detriment to breeding.
Very disappointed she took the award, but she won’t stay and won’t train on.Considering the performance at Ascot, sadly Crepello I don’t think they had much choice.
Agreed, not right these “medications” are used. Certainly to the detriment of USA breeding and racing or the horse herself. I too believe she won’t train on, probably having a short career/life.Value Is EverythingStrike The Tiger, Jealous Again, No Nay Never, Hootenanny, Acapulco – all impressive Wesley Ward two year old Royal Ascot winners. How many returned to victory in Europe as three or four year olds? None. Only one – Hootenanny – ran in Europe after their two year old careers.
Probably won’t see Lady Aurelia again in Europe. If we do, doubt she’ll do any good.

They were fawning over him not only at Royal Ascot but afterwards, asking him if he was ever going to come over to England to train. It made me sick to my stomach. Part of the problem I believe is that the Wesley ward story offers an “interesting” angle to their coverage of Ascot.
Until there’s a general consensus by the racing media to treat these sort of performances with the utmost suspicion, which would then filter down to the racing public at large, then this sort of thing will continue and you’ll keep having the awards going to the wrong horses.
