Default Maria's Mon dead
story on the BH.

I always liked that horse, what a bummer.

Something about multiple organ failure.

That's a shame. He was a terrific horse who unfortunately was not the same horse, or even close, after his injury as a 2YO.

Anyone remember what horse he easily defeated in their respective debuts?

Not to be mean to the deceased but I despised his progeny. In my history of wagering, I think Monarchos was the only winner I ever had from Maria's Mon, so I was like 1 for 101,343.

I'm sure that right before he passed, the last thought that crossed his mind was,"If only I could have sired a winner for that guy who gets lost in his own hometown...."
