Arson Squad.

I've always been a fan and although injured I'm happy to add his name here and not elsewhere...

The only one to survive that awful morning at Gulfstream.

Still waiting for the names of the other two... the 4th is already listed on the angels thread.

Dim Sum, HK dual G1 winner, the former Algol...

His greatest moments were winning the Chairman's Sprint Prize twice.

(Shock winner in some seriously tough fields)..

He retires with a rating of 123 which puts him in a tie for 11th in the Top 50.

Hope he gets to go somewhere nice.
