Horse of the Day: George Washington

[NTamm1215]

There was an eerie silence in the grandstand after the Classic as everyone realized it was George who went down. I immediately remembered the two Irishmen who I walked into the track with that morning from the train and them asking me if I had ever seen George in the flesh. They told me he was the most beautiful horse ever and they were probably right.

It was a sad day and a perfect illustration of how these great animals that bring us so much enjoyment are so fragile. RIP GW.
