Angels ~ In Memoriam, 2010
Though we share this humble path, alone
How fragile is the heart Oh give these clay feet wings to fly To touch the face of the stars Breathe life into this feeble heart Lift this mortal veil of fear Take these crumbled hopes, etched with tears We'll rise above these earthly cares Cast your eyes on the ocean Cast your soul to the sea When the dark night seems endless Please remember me Please remember me ~ Loreena McKennitt http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEqpdSKdpxs * * * Show 'Em All, a 5 year old mare, who collapsed and died at Fair Grounds... http://www.nola.com/horseracing/inde...furl_sail.html Run in peace. |

Flag Copado, one of Argentina's best stayers (he had won the Estrellas Classic which is like the BC in Argentina two years ago as well as the G1 Gran Premio General San Martin.), collapsed and died during the G1 Gran Premio Jose Pedro Ramirez (Uruguay).
He was 7. Better days... http://www.lanacion.com.ar/archivo/a.../66/847766.jpg Rest in peace. |

Grand Canyon, 7-year-old gelding (5 wins from 20 starts), in the 6th race at Woodville.
Tarbach, 7-year-old gelding (5 wins from 31 starts, including the 2009 Dunstan Championship), in the 6th race at Tauranga. A sad day. :( |

Sometimes you can't let go... let go of how good they were and you keep your hope. Or maybe it's not hope at all. Maybe just a special place - as Kanye wrote "on the other side of the glass in my memories museum" - because watching them sink lower and lower breaks your heart a little bit each time.
You know what could have been. His name was Leo and I guess he was put down after race 1 yesterday at Aqueduct. http://www.derbytrail.com/forums/sho...t=22960&page=8 He was 7 years old. As a 2 year old he was owned by Princess Haya. http://www.tjcis.com/pdf/icsc06/2006worldrankings.pdf (Page 5) I don't have pps for him but if I'm remembering right it wasn't until he did poorly in the BC (Stevie Wonderboy won... Leo way pretty far back) that the downhill spiral began. I choose to remember him being 2nd to Horatio, beating home fields that included horses like Palace Episode and True Cause, being one of the horses most people had in their Godolphin Seven Star stable(s) a few years ago because he was that good and it was expected that he'd go on to greatness. Good night, good boy. There's no way I'll ever forget you. |
Discontent, 4 years old, at Santa Anita yesterday...

It's All About You (IRE), 8 year old gelding, at Leicester after finishing 2nd. This was only his 8th race.
Cherish Witches, 6 year old mare, at Sedgefield. This was only her 2nd start (she had been last in her first race) and she'd gone off at odd of 100/1. Melodeeman, at Penn National. A 10 year old gelding he was running for a crappy 4k. Laughing Moon, at Penn National. He finished 3rd and broke down past the wire. He was 8. http://www.paulickreport.com/blog/tag/melodeeman/ Up and coming star, Versaki... http://www.punemirror.in/index.aspx?...85bc§xslt= |

Heilei, at Canterbury...
(I think he was a 4 year old gelding... sorry for not being sure). http://www.thoroughbrednews.com.au/s....aspx?id=44943 |
My friend smuthg remembered this date last year... since he's not around I'll do it this time.
There are many, many lovely tribute videos. I was trying to decide which link to post but then I thought no... how about instead of mourning his death we remember and celebrate his life. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ienAR...eature=related |
I don't have to see the link to know what day it is. RIP Barbaro; please keep your brothers and all their friends, competitors and companions safe.

Foresight, at Uttoxeter...
He was 5. * * * Too Forward, 14 years old (is this right???). He won the Bruton Handicap Chase at Wincation (Jan. 23) and collapsed and died immediately following the race, poor guy. |
Champion Lodge, today.
I know that he came very close to being slaughtered and was rescued, but not much more than that. Maybe someone who does know the story could post? Anyway, I know he was sick so at least he's not suffering any more. Rest in peace. * * * Sefapiano... http://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-raci...sefapiano-dies * * * Don'tputmeback, at Philly yesterday... http://www.drf.com/drfPDFChartRacesI...=20100202&RN=9 |
Brenna (AUS), 10 year old mare, fell and was euthanized on track earlier this month. This was her 106th start.
Poor girl. |
Indy Driver, 5 years old, at Lingfield on the 2nd...
Treasulier, 13 years old, fell and died at Wincanton on Jan. 23rd... Horizons (AUS), 3 year old filly, at Randwick on Jan. 30th.. |
I started following him because of his name...
It seemed like he disappeared... a 20 month layoff... but he came back and won! I had heard he was gone but I won't add any name unless it's confirmed and so a month later, I finally found it. Britts Jules was in the race too (he's fine). Wasn't he 3rd in the Super Derby? Something like that. All those 2004 races seem special... I guess cause they were the first I had ever paid any attention to. It's a shame to watch them drop down. All these boys were running for a tag (4 thousand). Anyway, at Golden Gate on January 7th, in a race I guess not many cared about, IB Bad, who had just turned 10, came in 2nd. He sadly died after the race. Since no one bothered reporting this here's all I could fine. IB Bad... knows how to win. http://www.recordnet.com/apps/pbcs.d...SPORTS/1070307 IB Bad prompted the pace to the turn, raced three wide to the stretch, dueled the winner..... http://www.equibase.com/premium/eqbP...AY=D&STYLE=EQB http://chrb.ca.gov/Minutes_Golden_Ga...G_10_01_10.pdf VETERINARY REPORT Euthanized / Died 01-07-10 I B Bad (Tr. John Martin) irregular heartbeat in test barn /collapsed/died; racing He deserves more than this but really, what else can I say other than I was a fan and that this sucks? Rest in peace. |
