Khyber Pass wouldn't be considered a "good" horse by most. I doubt he had a lot of fans, doubt a lot of people followed him.

He didn't win much.

When he ran he had that spark though.... a little claimer with the determination of a champion. He radiated heart and he tried so hard every time..... every time.

Someone on another forum watched as he died at Fairplex, while or after being unsaddled. Okay that was hard to even write those words.

Maybe there's somewhere when he and Go Bye Bye, Capecloakanddagger, Ride and Shine and All the Boys are winning races now and free of pain.

Rest in peace, special boy. You were loved and I will never forget you.

I wholeheartedly agree, and thank you for taking the time to remember them.

At least he was appreciated and treated well...sounds like the owners enjoyed him. RIP

Looks like Electric Light in the 8th at Belmont will join the Angels.
Anyone have info?
He broke down in the stretch very badly.

Chart just reads broke down in stretch, nothing about euthanasia or vanned off, but I can't believe he could make it, it was horrible.

In for a 50,000.00 claim, no one claimed him.

Durkin never said anything, and TVG acted like it didn't even happen....

Like MMSC said, he died (I think) trying, at least we will notice.

We need more owners like them.

From another board...
Electric Light was euthanized.
RIP pretty boy.

I believe it was one year ago today we lost Lost in the Fog.
RIP.

His name was Super Frolic and he was loved.

Goodnight, good boy. You'll be missed.
