Some tweets say she got up and walked to the van.

Whew! Great news, Craig, from HRTV. They got her up and splinted and headed back to the barn. Baffert says she'll be ok. Thank God!

Thank God, indeed.
Get well soon and well done to the jockey and everyone who got her back up!

God, I nearly threw up when she went down. Really like that filly, and she was awfully good to me in her last two prior.Hope this filly, per reports, is going to be OK.

OK is a subjective term .
Radiographs revealed both sesamoids are fractured left front .
She is done racing, and while the mechanics of the surgery are fairly routine, there is always the danger of founder .
It could have been worse, and looked terrible--surgery I believe is tomorrow.
Godspeed Princess .

Always terrible.
Andy Serling is reporting in Twitter that Fort Hughes broke down this morning and had to be euthanized.

Yes, I just read that Always A Princess has been retired. I had not read that BOTH sesamois were broken. Here's to a successful surgery tomorrow, excellent recovery, and a long happy life now as a broodmare.

Too many 57 flat works on concrete perhaps?

Keep your agenda out of this thread about a fine filly.

what "agenda" is that? That the breeding of racehorses for speed, the training methods currently in vogue and the complete joke of a 'dirt track ' might be destroying an animal's fragile bone structure?
That "agenda"?

The fractures were so clean that the surgery went great and she has excellent blood flow to her feet...they expect a complete recovery and she will eventually become a broodmare...
Martin did a great job of getting her stopped, IMO...talented filly, but at least she will recover and live out her life.
