Hits home when you see them all in one place.. And especially with ones you've touched with your own hands. For me..

Tobruk (From the Sciacca barn. Bred and owned by Phil Marcantonio)
Alexandros (From the Del Carroll barn. Bred and owned by the Sarris Family)
Happy Ticket (Got to be around her at Sciacca's barn 60, Breeders' Cup '05)
Papi Chullo (At Kenny Lejeune's place in Ocala on a turnout while Aldeb was there)




And unfortunately, a late addition to the list from FG Sunday.. V Jack.

Very sobering list. To think I have personally seen many of these on the track, have had rooting interests for them. And many of the stallions whose progeny we see every day. RIP TO THEM ALL.

Thanks for posting this MMSC.

After most of the year to think about it -- Dictina Too still bothers me to this day, and as callous as it sounds, there aren't many that bother me for any lengthy period of time.

Sometimes I wish they did. And then I get one like D. Too, and I'm glad they don't, because it's tough to love a horse you've never seen in the flesh, never touched, never anything, as much as that and have her break down and then wonder what it would be like to have one you've been personally involved with pass on.

I suppose before her, I watched my favorite horse get put down no more than seven feet from my face in Oregon, but now I'm going off on a tangent. And I hadn't loved one quite the same for a long time since that day.

Thanks for posting that -- it's important to remember, I think.

it is very sad to see them all listed in one place.

maybe this isn't the place but this list made me think of it.
how does the total number on this list compare to years past?

RIP.

Very sad, but thoughtful and warm post. Thanks for not only remembering the obvious good ones who lit up our Saturday afternoons, but also the hard knockers who ran every other week on Wednesdays and Thursdays. I hadd no ide we lost Sigh You or Gun Rock. RIP.

Lovely thread, thanks.

How do I say goodbye to what we had?
The good times that made us laugh
Outweigh the bad.

I thought we'd get to see forever
But forever's gone away
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.

I don't know where this road
Is going to lead
All I know is where we've been
And what we've been through.

If we get to see tomorrow
I hope it's worth all the wait
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.

And I'll take with me the memories
To be my sunshine after the rain
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.

And I'll take with me the memories
To be my sunshine after the rain
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.

"get me a tissue,Tito"
Mem'ries,
Light the corners of my mind
Misty water-colored memories
Of the way we were
Scattered pictures,
Of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another
For the way we were
Can it be that it was all so simple then?
Or has time re-written every line?
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me, would we? Could we?
Mem'ries, may be beautiful and yet
What's too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget
So it's the laughter
We will remember
Whenever we remember...
The way we were...
The way we were...

What a sobering list, especially when one considers the horses that we lost track of.

RIP to these magnificent animals. Run with the wind, dance on the clouds, and fly with the angels.

Here is another organization that provides (and has provided) funding to a number of thoroughbred rescue and retirement facilities around the US:
