Great post. Crazy how many basic errors the media can get away with simply because they don’t care.

Perhaps you have to add in the obligatory “.. and Zayat cried” element the BloodHorse had today.

The cynic in me said that was called out so loudly in the article to try and soften the out of touch supporting position the Editor In Chief had with Zayat.

Usually, once the insurance company takes over, their vets work on the horse and they pay the bills. If they can save the horse, they’d be in a position to recoup all or some of their outlay.

I mentioned this the other day on Twitter, but a famous case of an insurance company paying a mortality claim and taking over a horse was the saga of Your Host — the sire of Kelso. They were able to save the horse that gave us a 5-time HOTY. Let’s hope the same happens with Thorn Song.

Thanks for clarifying this mess. I think the clinic could just snap a pic of him and his tattoo and end all the speculation of “is he or isn’t he”? I hope he is.

I completely agree with Teresa. The timeline setup of your article makes a confusing picture much clearer.

Couldn’t someone at the clinic just snap a quick cellphone picture of Thorn Song?

I can’t believe HRTV isn’t all over this, esp. since they are based in California…

You left out that Elvis was spotted grooming Thorn Song last week.

Great re-cap. I met this guy when he was still with Romans in the summer of 2008–I nicknamed him then the “treat whore” because he was so shameless about seeking carrots and could inhale them by the dozens. Keep following the trail! Wonder if anyone at Alamo Pintada would talk to you?
