Finally, something on the death of Adreamisborn.....
Excerpt from the San Francisco Chronicle..... Hollendorfer says Sharp Writer could be the next Adreamisborn Larry Stumes, Special to The Chronicle ..... Hollendorfer won the Grace with Adreamisborn last year when it was run on turf for the first time. Adreamisborn died because of an abscess in his pancreas soon after he finished fourth in the Grade 2 San Francisco Breeders' Cup Mile on April 29. "He had a couple bouts of colic (earlier in the year), and we sent him to UC Davis," Hollendorfer said. "The vets went over him head to toe and scanned him everywhere and scoped him and couldn't find anything. And then he had another bout of colic, and we sent him back and they couldn't find anything again. "Then the horse was training well and we ran him in the S.F. Mile, and he had another bout of colic and we sent him to the college again, and he died. When they did the necropsy, they found an abscess in his pancreas. It was probably something that never would have shown up." And nothing Hollendorfer could have done anything about. "Even though we train a lot of horses, we have a schedule that takes into consideration every horse's condition three times a day," he said. "Even though we do all these things, we still have problems the same as with any athletes with flesh and bone." One of the best horses Hollendorfer ever trained, Adreamisborn had a running style and a career strikingly similar to Sharp Writer's so far. Adreamisborn lost his first eight starts in 2002-03 before owner John Franks sent him from Kentucky to Hollendorfer. From early 2004 through his death, Adreamisborn won 11 of 25 starts with seven seconds and three thirds and earned $700,640. He won three Grade 3 events and finished second in the SF Mile in 2005.

A shame.
From TT. No author listed..... Rest in peace, little one. Hopeful candidate Rajjaas euthanized Promising two-year-old colt Rajjaas was euthanized on Tuesday after breaking a leg in a workout at Saratoga Race Course. Trainer Kiaran McLaughlin and owner-breeder Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid al Maktoum's Shadwell Stable were considering the Elusive Quality colt out of Ridaa, by Seattle Slew, for the Hopeful Stakes (G1) on September 4 at Saratoga Race Course. In his only start, Rajjaas won a 5 ½-furlong maiden race by 1 ¼ lengths on August 9 at Saratoga. "Kiaran was going to work him three-eighths so we could have him ready should we decide to run him [in the Hopeful], but it didn't quite work out," Shadwell Vice President Rick Nichols said. "When you do have a nice one, it's special, and that's what hurts so bad. One, he was a homebred, and two, he had so much potential. To get something good like that and then to lose it, it really hurts." Sanford Stakes (G2) winner Scat Daddy and Bashford Manor Stakes (G3) winner Circular Quay are expected for the Hopeful, along with Irish Ace, Pegasus Wind, and Unbridled Express. Pegasus Wind worked five furlongs in 1:00.27 on Wednesday on a sloppy Oklahoma track.—Jeff Lowe

A bolt of lightning struck and killed five-year-old gelding Sunburnt Land on a property just north of Melbourne, Australia. Sunburnt Land, the winner of eight races from 18 starts, including the Group Two International Sprint at Caulfield during this year's Melbourne spring carnival, had been spelling at Romsey, north of the city. The gelding had won prize money of about $380,000.

Kasi my dog 1994-2008
My little beagle Kasi past away early this morning at the age 14. She was in declining health the last month and quite ill the past few days. But, she was a trooper and didn't cry or whimper through the ordeal. Quietly she died in her sleep and now is with her best friend; Jasmine our cat who died two years ago. It's been a rough year for me personally with my dad dying along with Karen's mom passing. It will be real quiet around the house now that both animals are gone and the kids are on thier own, just me and Karen. Goodbye my dear Kasi
 we all will miss you & love you always!
