Mythical lived until the ripe old age of 29 and only passed away September 8, 2007, reportedly enjoying peppermints right up until the end.  I could tell from the letter that he was a loved and cherished companion on the farm and i couldn't be happier to know that he had a great life after leaving the racetrack. Kudo's to Shannandoe Farm and everyone else in this industry that treats the horse with the honor and respect they deserve. My quest continues to find a photo of Mythical in the winner's circle but even without it it is nice to know he had a great life on a farm where he was loved.

Love hearing about happy endings

So glad you found out as much as you did and that Mythical lived out a happy life.
Best of luck to you getting that win picture.. Something tells me you will come across one or two soon.
