Heartsick adding this name...

Assessment.

Tough old warrior (10 years old) who raced 61 times (last race was a month ago yesterday) and who I always hoped to someday go and visit up at Emerald.

Of colic. :(

His finest moment... winning the 2009 Longacres Mile.

Rest easy, good boy.

Sad to read that. Indeed, a warrior.

Baby Z Princess

Zenyatta's latest baby

Had to be put down after a paddock accident today :(

http://www.zenyatta.com/news/the-pas...14z-z-princess

So sad. She looked a lot like War Front. I bet she'd have been amazing. I don't think Zenyatta was bred this year so that'll be 2 years in a row for both Zenyatta and Rachel Alexandra that there won't be babies of theirs coming to the track. Rachel is likely done, obviously. I wonder if they had selected a stallion for Zenyatta in 2015 yet and if so, whether that would be War Front again.

Admire Rakti. :(

:(

I am in shock! I watched the race and went to bed.. Never expecting to see this when I woke up.. What a damn shame! :(

Araldo

"Araldo took flight and jumped a steel fence after a flag believed to be waved in his face by a kid after the Melbourne Cup."

Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe winner Lammatarra - 22 yrs old

At least he lived out his age in a good place.

"Although not a roaring success as a stallion, he was bought back by Sheikh Mohammed in 2006 to live out his retirement at Dalham Hall."

County Side 29 yrs old ~ Oldest living son of Secretariat

"Country Side, the oldest living Secretariat stallion, died peacefully at Diamond J. Farms in Texas at the end of summer, leaving many good-brained, big-strided offspring to continue the famous line in Thoroughbreds and in Quarter Horses. And an owner/caretaker who says she never met a horse like her polite, funny stallion."
