Angels

[my miss storm cat]

Anyone who follows racing in Japan knows this name.....

Eye Popper, a grand old gentleman, was euthanized today.

******* laminitis.

Off the top of my head (cause there's no article on the JRA site yet), I believe he ran in the Tenno Sho four times, he ran in the Caulfield Cup (he was 2nd to Railings), the Melbourne Cup (didn't do well), won the Hanshin Daishoten last year in his second attempt... he was 8 years old and had a lot of fans.

Here's his last race (from October 12th)... the Kyoto Daishoten (G2). He was 3rd.
