What a sad sad thing for all involved

I still have to wonder about this case.

Was it a simple accident, or someone sending a political statement to Chavez, president of Venezuela where that polo team is from?

I don't think it was quite that simple....and maybe not even political....maybe drug related...a little warning? A payback?

Or no bed posts to put a horse's head on ???

At $100,000 per horse times 21... I just hope they aren't insured by AIG.

I live in FL and was sickened at this because i have watched the polo matches there where they all dropped dead. My first thought was, somebody poisoned them, intentionally. Its interesting to hear that a pharmacist incorrectly prepared the medication. Last night the news thought it to be improperly administered- my thought as well. I am still interested in watching as the details unfold as to what/who were to blame. Those horses range from $10k-$100k, still a huge loss of investment. Very sad as well.

WOOPS! Those damn Americans! I'd love to have seen Chavez's face when he heard the news. Perhaps it's a bit of the Godfather effect, Obama sending a message? Seriously, probably just a mistake, some won't think so however.
