Wow. So many, "what if's" there. I remember crying when I heard she was gone.

Thank goodness that today, we rarely lose horses to drugs and anesthesia. One good thing to contemplate.

Great video of Whirlaway, thanks. I hope the new owner of Calumet decided to reopen the farm, and the cemetery, to tours again. I love their old race training barn, and the cemetery rivals Claiborne.
