The plot hatches as foals from Central Kentucky, once again are dying in what is truthfully, Mare Reproductive Loss Syndrome. An unseasonably warm spring caused an epidemic of caterpillars in 2001. This was determined to be the decisive factor as to why so many unborn foals aborted that year. Millions and millions of caterpillars plagued the fields where pregnant mares grazed. The Bluegrass, rife with wild cherry trees, the leaves of which caterpillars consumed, produced a toxic by---product through digestion. As mares foraged they consumed the caterpillars and the toxins as well. This poison caused the mares to abort, producing hundreds of still-born foals. It seriously rocked the Thoroughbred industry and the state of Kentucky.
