GOOD NEWS FOR PAYNTER!
Received word last night that Paynter has come through beautifully the final "leg" of his journey, hopefully, to a return to full health!
Excerpt from report on Paynter: "Today (Thursday) Paynter is doing well. His appetite is great. He is constantly trying to get his veterinarians and nurses to give him more food! He is getting quite demanding and will only let us work on him if he has something to eat in front of him. We hope to have him back on full feed by tomorrow (Friday). His IV fluids have been discontinued and one of his IV catheters has been removed. While complications can still develop, we are very happy with his progress at this point."
Also, here is Steve Haskin's tribute to this amazing horse: Profile in Courage
HERE WE GO AGAIN!!!
If you thought last weekend was hectic, with ten Grade 1 races in one day, you had better strap yourself in, because this weekend will feel like a roller coaster ride!
If you live in the U.S., you will have to get up early Sunday to catch the races at Longchamp in Paris! In the U.S. the 7 Group 1 races start off at 6:55 a.m. EDT (12:55 p.m. Paris time) with the Prix de l'Abbaye. The premier race, the PRIX de l'ARC de TRIOMPHE is slated to go off at 9:25 a.m. EDT. Daily Racing Form is on board for a free live stream of the event for American viewers without premier services, like TVG, or TwinsSpires (online), or HRTV.
