Diamond Stilettos retired. Wizards Clip euthanized.
Diamond Stilettos has highly likely suffered a career ending injury and highly likely irreparably damaged. And also on the cards is a trip to the KB’s.
Cantkeepasecret found a new home off the track. She’ll be properly rehabbed and live the good life from now on.
