I wasn't refering to what happened in the Preakness as one of life's tragedies, but it was pretty bad. I was making the point that while I didn't have a direct connection to barbaro like owning him, it was sad to see it happen. A dog was run over by a car on my block today, I didn't own the dog, but it was sad and upsetting seeing the owners standing over him. Got my point?
Sure ... it's sad to see someone else's horse break a leg ... or someone else's dog run over by a car. But neither is a tragedy ...

... nor is working very hard to get what you desire ... in fact ... working hard to achieve your goals can be very satisfying.
