<sup>Terror Smile, crowd favorite, and champion race mare broke down after she placed second in the Breeder's Cup Filly & Mare Turf. We have gotten word that she injured her left front cannon bone. The vet who first inspected her, suggested to put her down right away but Hailey sent Smiles back to the barn anyway for surgery. It was later in the operation room that a different vet noticed that Smiles fracture wasn't as severe as they first believed and that it could be repaired easily and quickly if done right. The vet still predicts however that the mare's cannon bone was injured before she fell but she kept running. The operation will begin tonight.

Aiden Smith, her jockey, is in the hospital and his current condition is unknown. He was last seen in an ambulance and no one knows how he is. The good news however is that Smiles should be able to make a full recovery if all goes well in the surgery. The question of her being raced again is unknown at the time but let's just hope that she makes through the operation safely. If she does race again, Sillenia and Smiles would be the rivals of the turf.

More on the operation will come. Stay tuned.</sup>

This makes victory so bittersweet. To see such a good competitor go down like that...
I would like to offer my sincere condolences to Smiles' connections. She ran a brave race and is a worthy competitor. I hope that we see her on the track again - but if we don't, she will make a wonderful broodmare.
Best wishes!

Moses Lancaster: Ouch! This is awful news! I hope Smiles gets better, and Aiden too!

Connor Kingsley: I hope she pulls through, I hope the idiot of a jockey stays in hospital. : ) I rest the blame on him. He just messed up a brilliant career in my eyes. Commence flame war. idc.

^{Hailey Levine: Thanks guys! She's pulled through the surgery and is now residing in our stable's vet centre. She's sure the fighter. She's all stable and well. Aiden's well too and suffered two broken ribs unfortunately. Conner, Aiden rode his best. He tried to stop her but in the end there was nothing anyone could really do. She tried her hardest and didn't give up the race.}

Connor Kingsley: His best clearly wasn't good enough. Fail.

^{Hailey Levine: I can see your not too keen at changing your mind and I'm not one to argue... Everyone has their own opinions.}
