Yesterday's 7th at Saratoga, Palladium Bridge #8, would not go forward Period!
They had to walk the Mare backwards out of the paddock. If anyone was watching the NYRA feed yesterday, they showed it for a good 2-3 minutes. The horse would not make a forward move. They actually walked her backwards onto the track.
Once on the track, she still would not make a forward move. They had her isolated on camera, and she would only rotate in a tight circle, or move backwards.
5 year old mare, with 24 races, and $332,000 earned, 8 wins. Nice Horse.
Trained by Ray Handal, who is quality, and having a nice saratoga.
Irad Ortiz was up, and he eventually got her to go Forward, where then the horse seemed to go off on a out of control sprint, throwing her head.
I think the comment in PP's for this is "Stalled" when a horse will not make a forward move when the gate opens.
