Default A Final Farewell

When he shall die,
Take him and cut him out in little stars,
And he will make the face of heaven so fine
That all the world will be in love with night,
And pay no worship to the garish sun.

Sad reading through that list. Thanks for putting it together, G.

Good idea not to use the word "BIG" when naming a horse.

Anyone who enjoys and respects this sport should reflect and appreciate the lives lost, both human and equine, for our enjoyment. Thanks to MMSC are in order as well, for anyone who has a heart, hurts for these that have been mentioned, I know it's not an easy task.

I appreciate that.

I had listed them (roughly) in the order of their passing.

I had said feel free to remember any of them for any reason and so here's one...

His name was Sir Ray and he died of colic back in August at the age of 10.

This was the highlight of his career and a race that I cannot watch without smiling.

I didn't know Gold Vendetta was gone. Seems I only played him a few weeks ago. Didn't know about Leo or Ramsgate either. I have a great photo of the latter at Saratoga.
What about that horse that Dutrow had for the last few years, a $20-35k claimer on grass who no one ever took until he went to MTH and won then broke down for the guy who haltered him. Can't remember the name, did he survive?

Amazing race . Glad it was captured on youtube. His last race was on 4/27/09 at Delaware Park . He was owned by one Michael J. Gill . It says on pedigreequery he was rescued by Aikindale Horse Rescue before succumbing to colic. He earned $430,000 lifetime .
