You're dancing and prancing in my dreams, old boy.

[my miss storm cat]

I'm so sorry Old Dog I know he wasn't yours but I do know how much you loved the old guy.

I feel terrible... you had told me it was going to be his bday before you left one weekend and I meant to bump up his thread...

He had a long and I'd assume happy life. We can all hope for as much and to be remembered with such fondness.

Good bye, good boy.

Deb O' Deb is away so I'll try to update this the best I can and then I really do hope to be done on this thread.

I just keep reading names and not posting them and it's bugging me.

Dr. Janis Kengis’ Kris Is It, dam of two stakes-placed runners, died March 19 at Nandi Veterinary Clinic near New Freedom, Pa., from a ruptured uterine artery while delivering a Tale of the Cat filly. The filly also died.

Champion Borgia Dies

Borgia, a globetrotting German-bred champion filly who specialized in long distance racing, died March 29.

The daughter of Acatenango out of the Tarim mare Britannia was 18.

A homebred for Gestut Ammerland, Borgia not only raced in Germany but in England, France, Japan, North America, Dubai, and Hong Kong and often against males. She was a champion in Germany, England, and France.

Borgia enjoyed her best season at 3 in 1997. She won the BMW 128 Deutsches Derby (Ger-I) and the Mercedes-Benz-125 Grosser Preis von Baden (Ger-I), and ran second in the Preis der Diana-Deutsches Stuten-Derby (German Oaks, Ger-II). Also that year she ran second in the Breeders’ Cup Turf (gr. IT) and third in the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe (Fr-I).

As a 5-year-old, Borgia captured the Hong Kong Vase (HK-I) and contested the inaugural running of the Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Turf (gr. IT), finishing fifth. She was retired after the Hong Kong Vase with a record of 6-7-2 from 22 starts and earnings of $1,697,771.

Borgia produced nine foals including four winners. Her last reported offspring is an unnamed 2-year-old colt by Oasis Dream.

Grant Vent ended up being put down as well.

I wanted to start a thread in the paddock asking something... like where is the outrage? To have run the race again...

Disgusted.

If no one wants to talk about it though and that seems pretty clear why bother.

A ****ing pointless shame.

edit - For anyone who is gonna start accusing me of being sanctimonious, fake, etc you know it's just that I thought it was outrageous. That's all. Poor horses, you know?

Sadly have to add the brilliant Trafford Lad here...

Major Stallion Grand Slam Dies
By Blood-Horse Staff

Posted: Sunday, April 1, 2012 1:51 PM


Grand Slam , who is represented by four 3-year-old stakes winners in 2012, died March 31 at Ashford Stud near Versailles, Ky., as a result of heart failure.

Commenting on his sudden death, Ashford manager Dermot Ryan said, “Grand Slam was a pleasure to have here, and he was very popular with breeders as he sired nearly 800 winners and has progeny earnings of over $64 million. It’s a sad day for the staff here who worked with him and for all the partners who were involved with the horse and who have always been fantastic to deal with.”

Grand Slam, who was produced from the stakes-winning El Gran Senor mare Bright Candles, is represented by 73 stakes winners including Breeders’ Cup Sprint (gr. I) winner Cajun Beat, Saratoga grade I winner Visionaire, Japanese group I winner Café Olympus, and this year’s Kentucky Oaks (gr. I) contender Millionreasonswhy.

Trained by D. Wayne Lukas, the 17-year-old son of Gone West raced for Robert and Christina Baker, William Mack, and David Cornstein. As a juvenile he won the Futurity Stakes (gr. I) and the Champagne Stakes (gr. I). At 3, he won the Peter Pan Stakes (gr. II) and placed in five graded stakes including the Breeders’ Cup Sprint.

ShopBarn Fire in Florida Kills Nine Horses
By Blood-Horse Staff
Updated: Sunday, April 1, 2012 7:07 PM


Nine horses died April 1 in a barn fire at McKathan Farm and Training Center near Reddick, Fla., according to a story on the Ocala Star-Banner newspaper’s website (www.ocala.com). Luke and Jocelyn McKathan own the 62-acre operation.

The cause of the fire isn’t known, Jessica Greene, a spokeswoman for Marion County Fire Rescue told the publication. Firefighters received a telephone call reporting the blaze at 10:31 a.m. (EDT) and arrived at the farm at 10:40 a.m. The Star-Banner reported that 75% of the barn was engulfed in flames by then. The fire was under control by 11:08 a.m.

Based on other information in the story, the horses belonged to the McKathans and not to any of their clients. A neighbor was able to free three horses in the burning barn, but they were injured. One farm worker was injured slightly, suffering first-degree burns, according to Greene.

http://www.racingpost.com/news/horse...h/1009252/top/

why shouldn't they have run the race again? obviously any race has inherent danger-does the risk rise because a horse broke down? were there other races on that surface after that race?

[my miss storm cat]

I keep writing out answers and deleting them so I will keep it simple and not do anything that might cause a big problem...

It is just my opinion. That's all.

I am shocked. Last thing I expected. Poor girl.

I'm sorry not to post the replay of her Cox Plate win (I just can't because of Lion Tamer) but here's a nice picture that one of the other sites has up.

http://www.thoroughbrednews.com.au/a....aspx?id=59019

THis is such a shame. Stunned.

Rest in peace beautiful girl.

[Riot]

Just saw this, forgot to look down here, I just posted something in the Paddock. Terrible news. Loved to watch this girl run. How so very sad everyone associated with her. Condolences to the connections.

[my miss storm cat]

She deserves a thread, of course.

I think there are a few people who are reluctant to post on any paddock thread for a horse who has died. Too bad, isn't it?

She was special. It's a shame.
