There is a post on the Chronicle Forums asking for help in placing a Spanish Steps-Secretariat Lass yearling filly with an eye problem. Post is quoted as saying they have placed "all but 10 of the Martin Stables horses."

So maybe there was some truth to the original rumor?

Emerald Downs goes through a spat of injuries every year. There have been 5 or 6 broken shoulders so far this year and at least 7 or 8 breakdowns. Track management won't even admit there is a problem, so there won't be any surface fixes anytime soon. They don't get race dates till mid-January, and a...

The owner has invested quite a bit of time and money into her and the chances for a return of significance are very small, as her rivals have been very modest and she hasn't been competitive. Plan A was to get her into a riding home; Plan B to find an owner who runs at lesser tracks. I...
