Since last fall, the talk has been whether or not world champion filly Snow White could take on the undefeated colt Deweycheatumnhowe in the Hambletonian. When the filly underwent tie-back throat surgery earlier this year her fate seemed to be the Oaks, but Saturday night at the Meadowlands she failed to even accomplish that goal, and her trainer, Kevin Lare, commented on the filly's status after the race.
“We've dealt with a soreness ever since her first start, and we're still dealing with it,” said Lare. “We've been to the best places around and we're having an issue pinpointing where it is. John [Campbell] said it's like we were back to square one tonight. I don't think it's a crippling injury; it's not career threatening or anything. But we've got an issue we still have got to deal with.
"We'll go back home and do our homework again," continued Lare. "She was never comfortable. We know where it's at, we just don't know what it is. We can't pinpoint what it is. It's right hind. We've done everything we can do and we can't find it. All we can do is come back to fight another day.” (Meadowlands)
