Default Dirge - One-eyed Horse
Runs today in the 7th at the Spa. Pretty hard lucked story (2 bowed tendons and only one eye...) about a horse trained by Shepphard.

I read that story, I'm pulling for him, how can you not, would make a nice story if he hits the wnner's circle.

It'll be the next Disney feel good story.

He's a 7yo and is 5 for 7 lifetime. He lost his debut at age 5 over hurdles and also lost to Independent George at Del in July of 2007. Cool horse with a wild story.

Great story, I am using in pk4 and hope he wins here, though I am not thrilled he opened at 2-1!
