If I recall, I think one of Cannon Shell's horses might have run in one of them on the turf at Penn National a year or two ago.

Oh please. You would have been disappointed if there were no mention of death on this entire thread. I had to say it. Consider it homage.

4th place carried top weight at 152lbs.

Hey DrugS what about what they weigh?

Dr. Super in HK is known for being "the biggest horse around"..."well over 1300 pounds".

Is that just large or monsterous?

No idea what The Hombre weighs in NZ (ed are you around?) but he is ****ing massive. He'd make Zenyatta and Midnight Lute look average.
