Rotten luck, but that's what you sometimes get when you aim for a mid-January foal. At least it was a filly.
Edit: Why did I post this in the Off Topic forum? It is a mystery.

You're not getting a dead button...in fits of rage, John Slotman and Ara Davies and Jolene Danner would literally kill half their barns.

When I saw your post I thought "who cares" because this happens all the time.
Then I saw WHO it happened to, and I was like Oh.... not..... good.

um ... wow
I am REALLY surprised they didn't keep quiet on this one.
Though I don't think they're allowed to, $9.4million mare...not exactly a secret life, you know? Probably tried to keep it a secret but of course that kind of information was likely to leak.
This news is ... wow
I'm at a loss for words.
The foal will probably never race. Glad it's a filly, she'll be of use as a broodmare.

Sean and I were talking about how a few years ago - maybe 2? - a horse in Europe won a few really big races, then it was discovered that he was a December foal, and all those winnings were stripped away from him and the people got in big trouble. With a horse this prominent, it would be devastating to be caught in a lie.
I've also had several farm managers tell me that the January 1st foals are usually legit - it's the January 2nd and 3rd foals that is where they claim all the December foals are born!

The unfortunate connection is Khalid Abdullah, who owned Endless Summer and owns Banstead Manor stud where the Magical Romance filly was born.
Wish list
Alternate horses between jumps and flat.
Search for previous rather than current owners of horses.
Stallions year entered for stud duties.
Automated assistant trainers - sorted, kind of!
European claiming circuit.
