The horses (besides the ones already on the list) that broke down at Bay Meadows this past year:

Cards Speak
He's Storming
Imperial Eyes (the horse Russell Baze was whipping to excess and was then suspended for)

R.I.P. and thank you, to all of these horses, for the joy (and sometimes sorrow) that you brought to us.

Interesting thread. Very well done. Massaud breaking down on opening day was awful.

More importantly we should be making a thread adding our loved ones that we have lost this year, and praying for them.


Merry Christmas

Thanks for your post, MMSC...as always, you bring to light a side of the game that sometimes is overlooked. Sometimes, it is easy to forget that the animals involved are living, breathing beings as well, and have feelings like anyone else.
Not to mention, they are so easy to get attached to!

Thanks again, sad to see the losses, but important to remember as well.

While walking my dog today, she ran down a frog and tore the living sh#t out of it...the damn frog's eyes popped right out of it's head.

Please add the frog to your list of dead animals.

I agree.


Also we should add football programs which were finally put to rest and are now dead and buried for years.

Good bye Notre Dame Football......is a pleasure to see you have a horrendous year.

You left Stonegossarse off your list.

Or don't you wish to remember him?

There are many here, including links to web articles on most of them. On this list, unlike some of the others on the web, all have been verified.
