rip sinister g
 

some of you may remember him--on the t.c. trail a couple years ago...a real family affair with this guy.
died from complications from colic, ruptured bowel. poor guy!

may he rip.

That's a tough way to go.

R.I.P G

Run in peace.

Sinister G, run with great-granddaddy Slew in Heaven in fields lush and welcoming. This fan will miss you.

RIP :(

So sad. I hate colic.

I always liked that name!

I believe he was a nice long shot winner at Turfway

Cajun,
So do I hate colic. RIP Sinister G.
I get so bummed...reading about Cormorant (NY sire), Ten Cents a Shine,
so many others. Miss Storm Cat keeps the thread going in esoteric but everytime I read about another one....shucks!

Ya couldn't miss the big guy on the track. He gave it all he had and sometimes jumped up.

i think he was even longer priced than that, im not sure. but that race and last year when i was up in minnesota for the claiming crown i watched sinister g win easy the night be4 the CC@ chuck town right next to his trainer scott lake, those are my 2 fondest memories of the horse.....rip=(

As I recall, without looking it up, I think he was the one that upset Birdstone on a sealed track in the Lane's End at Turfway. I think Zito was pretty upset about it at the time. Me too, I bet on Birdstone.:( I never get mad at horses for beating me though. Sad to hear about his passing.

RIP big'n.

What exacly is colic?

colic is actually a catch-all term for abdominal pain...there are several different types and numerous causes...

the wikipedia entry is pretty good.
