Anyone hear what happened to Fancy Azteca in the stakes race at Saratoga? I saw her close enough up to be a factor and she suddenly dropped right out of it and no one seemed to notice or mention her at all.


I do know she was claimed from L. Rice and now is in the barn of R. Dutrow, am suggesting nothing but that much is fact.

"FANCY AZTECA broke in at the start bumping RAGING
SEA in concert with INMY OPINION, then got bumped between foes herself and was briefly just off the inside before tipping out
to be five paths off the rail into the backstretch taking shortened awkward strides, began to climb nearing the three-quarter pole in
the absence of any kickback and was placed to a protective hold when striding awkward, got guided outside and was pulled up and
subsequently vanned off."

From the DRF chart, no mention of her from the Fox pundits, although Gary Stephens was praising Rick Dutrow before the race.

On twitter, it's saying that her initial examination didn't show any injury but it looks like there'll be a more thorough follow-up evaluation by her own vets. She's back at the barn now.
