I'll miss him. One of the greatest hangers of all time.

He has certainly occupied an imortant place in racing in recent years.
You could always count on him to show up for the big races.

Ummm....I actually liked him quite a bit too, but unless this post was your first known attempt at sarcasm, you might want to consider trying to settle down a bit.

I would have liked to have seen what he could have done under a really good trainer earlier on in his career, he could have been one of the better geldings of this era me thinks...Still he wasn't half bad. Makes one wonder.

Not to argue, but I dont see how the original trainer did such a bad job. Horse won multiple graded stakes and beat some pretty darn nice horses along the way. On top of that, he is still racing at 9.

I have no idea how to train a horse and i dont pretend to know. Maybe Chuck or one of the other trainers can comment on how to train a horse not to hang.
