Ramatuelle scratched from Breeders Cup Mile

[GM23]

I think this is an outrage and becoming a far too recurring theme.
Horse has been kept fresh for this race and now the connections don’t even get a run.

There’s nothing even wrong with the horse which is even more insane.

“She has been moving beautifully all week at Del Mar and is in peak physical condition, making today’s outcome understandably frustrating for our team.”
It added: “We have immense respect for the Breeders’ Cup’s rigorous protocols and the dedicated veterinary team, whose responsibility to protect equine athletes is essential to our sport.
“Although Ramatuelle’s PET Scan report stated ‘no definitive major concern for breakdown was identified’, it showed signs of bone remodelling.
“While this is common in three-year-olds, it prompted the decision to proceed with an abundance of caution and withdraw her from the race.”

Bone remodelling lmao. I used to train greyhounds and literally every young dog goes through this. It’s pretty much the same with horses.
They’ve even admitted its common in 3yo’s yet have still removed her.

If I owned the horse, I’d never be back until the protocols are using more common sense, the same goes for Australia.
