Normally these things just make me shrug and say "well damnit" and I spend a moment to think back on the horse and the thrills they gave us and wish them peace. This one hurts and I'm actually tearing up a bit. So much untouched talent in this gelding. What a loss for us as fans.

My heart goes out to his connections and those closest to the big gelding who have an empty stall to look at.
