I just have to say that my daughter and I play in a Fantasy Stable League and we have had Beholder since she was two years old. I always have to laugh because IRL she was sold for $180,000 at the sales but when we bid on her in the auction she cost us $520.000.
I LOVE Beholder so much. I could just picture Richard Mandella's face when the post positions were selected for today's race. Like, "Ok, we got this one!" I have been so tense most of the day. I was practically hyperventilating during the race. And I literally SOBBED like a baby when it was official. I'm going to miss my beautiful Beholder while I am so greatful she raced for many years, winning and staying sound.
LOL, my daughter just said the next big horse we look for must finish 4th in her/his first race. Secretariat was 4th, American Phaorah was 4th, and so was Beholder! Who knows?
