I occasionally come across things like this on ebay -- always hits me in the gut.

That really gets you.

Peronally, I always donate to things like the Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation & the Don Macbeth Fund because I feel a sense of obligation to contribute to organizations that assist horses & disabled jockeys. If I get push $1,000 through the windows in an afternoon, it's hard to rationalize not sending a twenty every now and then for a good racing related cause...

she used to race at arlington and hawthorne

i've seen her run probably a dozen times, that kills me to read :(

It makes me very sad. Very.
