Angels ~ In Memoriam, 2010

[my miss storm cat]

I started following him because of his name...

It seemed like he disappeared... a 20 month layoff... but he came back and won!

I had heard he was gone but I won't add any name unless it's confirmed and so a month later, I finally found it.

Britts Jules was in the race too (he's fine). Wasn't he 3rd in the Super Derby? Something like that. All those 2004 races seem special... I guess cause they were the first I had ever paid any attention to.

It's a shame to watch them drop down. All these boys were running for a tag (4 thousand).

Anyway, at Golden Gate on January 7th, in a race I guess not many cared about, IB Bad, who had just turned 10, came in 2nd.

He sadly died after the race.

Since no one bothered reporting this here's all I could fine.

IB Bad... knows how to win.

IB Bad prompted the pace to the turn, raced three wide to the stretch, dueled the winner.....

He deserves more than this but really, what else can I say other than I was a fan and that this sucks?

Rest in peace.
