Here is a photo of Rags to Riches and Lauren Robson, her exercise rider! Can you believe how beautiful Rags is? I hope she's doing okay on her stall rest recovery (I am writing this blog on Oct. 25th, the day before the Breeder's Cup she'll be missing). Anyway, Lauren is one of her friends that knew that something was off. She pulled her up on an exercise ride once this summer because she didn't feel right, and Rags was then sent to the same facility Barbaro went to for a full workup. They didn't find anything, so she was sent back to the track where a hairline fracture emerged.
Can you believe how closely and lovingly Lauren must know her Rags? What a good team and good pair of friends!
