Quelle tristesse pour ce grand et beau cheval.

Le dr Wayne McIlwraith, vétérinaire sur place, a offert les commentaires suivants sur l'état de la piste, reproduits de l'article dans "Sporting Life" :

"Breeders' Cup vet Dr Wayne McIlwraith does not believe the sloppy racetrack was to blame for the irreparable injuries sustained by George Washington.

Monmouth Park was deluged with rain for the best part of 48 hours but McIlwraith was not inclined to blame the surface.

He said: "There's been no comparative work done scientifically as far as the nature of the track (is concerned).

"At times with a sloppy racetrack at the end of the day you could have some concerns because they are running in the base.

"Obviously the base is not made for them to be running on directly - it was a very sloppy track.

"The rest of the races have gone off well, but it's always a concern."

McIlwraith also theorised fatigue could have played a part.

"Typically, these injuries occur in the last part of the race," he said.

"Horses are more fatigued so they have got less support to the joint. And that's when the injuries normally occur."

McIlwraith pointed out that the predominantly turf-raced George Washington might have experienced greater physical stress by switching to dirt.

"He could have had trouble with being less co-ordinated on that, as he's used to racing on grass - those are possibilities," he added.

"We generally consider these fractures to start as associated with earlier damage, so they can sustain a small degree of damage and then it can escalate into a fracture.

"So it is quite possible, especially when you have a horse that's relatively inexperienced at that surface and racing on a different surface."

However, McIlwraith does not believe the decision to run George Washington in the Classic was injudicious.

"I was being asked for sort of possibilities, and you can certainly have many contributing factors," he said.

"But, no, I certainly did not imply that it's not a wise move (to switch to dirt)." "
