In reviewing the circumstances surrounding Life At Ten’s subpar performance in the 2010 Breeders’ Cup Ladies’ Classic Nov. 5 at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Ky., the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission (KRHC) has concluded that the filly should have undergone post-race testing.

A report, entitled "Investigation of Events Surrounding the Breeders’ Cup Ladies’ Classic," that was approved by the commission March 10, outlined reasons why Life At Ten was not, but should have been, tested following the race.

Life At Ten, owned by Candy DeBartolo and trained by Todd Pletcher, finished last in the Ladies’ Classic as the second choice at odds of 7-2. With jockey John Velazquez aboard, Life At Ten had no run when the field left the gate, and she was not persevered with throughout the 1 1/8-mile race. Before the race, Velazquez told retired jockey Jerry Bailey, who was assisting with the ESPN coverage of the Breeders’ Cup, the filly did not look right, but he apparently did not relay those concerns to the stewards or any KHRC veterinarians
