The best horse I've had the pleasure of seeing race in NZ since AT LEAST Xcellent in 2004-05. You're a champion, Jimmy, and I hope you pass on some of that awesomeness to the little Jimmys to come.
Stunned and saddened to read this... I wasn't expecting it at all.

Of course I never saw him in person being half a world away but he was without question one of the greatest horses I've ever had the good fortune to know about and follow in my few short years being a fan.

Extraordinary, champion, brave... all those cliche things people say? Well the truest sense of those words... that is the only way to define him.

I'll miss watching him and just being happy to see where he's being pointed to / entered in.

Thanks for the memories, Jimmy, and for being a present-day great cause there aren't many...

Lest i forget I need to add Older Than Time who is such a nice mare and Dao Dao who was a little disappointing but hey it's not easy placing in that many G1's (5? 6?) and at 8 years old he sure has earned it.
