Very sad. TVG is reporting that Shakis broke down in a workout and had to be put down.

God damnit this sucks. I just got home, checked email, got a workout for him.

I've been a fan of his since he was with Doug Watson in Dubai... when he ran in the Duty Free back in 2005.

The next spring he finally got a win... the Maserati Trophy. Beat a nice field. Was thrilled when he came stateside.

Just very, very sad news.

I'll miss him.

Good night, good boy.

A ******* shmae.

A super 8 yr old campaigner . I guess the last place finish in the BC Mile warranted just "one more race."

Yeah... and he's one of the few I thought was durable. I'm assuming the plan was to retire him at the end of the year?
