Today I got to see the 2019 Breeders Cup and I can say that i'm very proud of the Breeders Cup winner Vino Rosso for giving it his all and winning a great race. Another fact I learned about Vino Rosso is that his owner happens to be the founder of Vitaminwater. I think Vino Rosso will be an amazing star and will pass his talents on to his foals he sires. Too bad about Mongolian Groom with his injury and I hope he recovers soon. I love horses and the 2019 Breeders Cup was so neat to see

Mongolian Groom passed away? I didn't hear anything about that and what the sportscasters said that Mongolian Groom just had a leg fracture that was expected to get better but I never expected him to die so quickly. I bet there's some kind of virus going around the Santa Anita racetrack and it's infecting the horses a lot. I just hope Vino Rosso isn't the next horse to be sick

I bet there is an outbreak of Equine Infectious Anemia at Santa Anita that caused Mongolian Groom's death during the Breeders Cup? Equine Infectious Anemia "for those who don't know about it who are horse owners or lovers" is a disease that's transmitted to horses through insects and usually surfaces through the spring and early summer and is also called swamp fever. How you can tell if a racehorse shows signs of Equine Infectious Anemia is they come out of a race sweating hard and before each race vets will test each horse for this disease to make sure they don't have it. But if any racehorse has Equine Infectious Anemia the racehorse has to be quarantined from other racehorses because the virus can spread to other racehorses and close racetracks and breeding farms for up to a year. I learned about Equine Infectious Anemia in my horse books and it sounded scary when I read about it. I think Santa Anita should do an investigation after what happened with Mongolian Groom to see if he was showing signs of Equine Infectious Anemia even before the Breeders Cup began because it's so shocking that a bunch of mares died and now that Mongolian Groom has died Santa Anita Racetrack should close for good and be put under quarantine and once they get the all clear Santa Anita will reopen once this mystery illness case is solved
Do you agree? Bestie |

Hi, Bestie! I missed the Breeders cup this year. The infection was a sad thing. They are supposed to check out all the horses before the race to see if they are healthy enough to race, so I think it was the hurt leg that caused him to be put down. I think that some of these racetrack deaths are caused by PETA people poisoning horses, so they can declare racing bad for horses and shut down the tracks. What do you think?
