I had listed them (roughly) in the order of their passing. I had said feel free to remember any of them for any reason and so here's one... His name was Sir Ray and he died of colic back in August at the age of 10. This was the highlight of his career and a race that I cannot watch without smiling. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xse2FasMvdY

I didn't know Gold Vendetta was gone. Seems I only played him a few weeks ago. Didn't know about Leo or Ramsgate either. I have a great photo of the latter at Saratoga.
What about that horse that Dutrow had for the last few years, a $20-35k claimer on grass who no one ever took until he went to MTH and won then broke down for the guy who haltered him. Can't remember the name, did he survive?

MMSC thank you for your continuing commitment to remembering these wonderful spirits who have given us thrills and excitement during their short time on this earth. Kip Deville was the biggest thing from Oaklahoma since Will Rogers. Who would have thunk it? May they all run in peace.

Kossack Gilsland Brother Cha Stormin War Dancer Too Phar Belly Button Dawn Anjiz Excelltastic Gypsy Supreme War Pass ... and Rakti. Hopefully there will be no more additions and the list next year will be a lot shorter.

Academy Award, affectionately known as Little Red at Old Friends, at 24 years of age. I met him there . . . what a sweetheart. It's interesting how different horses touch us in different ways. Some who may have dazzled us in person at a track years ago, others about whom we have read and seen in videos but never seen in the flesh, and those who maybe weren't great achievers at the racetrack but have had the good fortune to end up somewhere like Old Friends or the KHP where they make terrific ambassadors for the sport. In every one of them I imagine a heck of a story if only they could tell it. Last edited by OldDog : 12-17-2010 at 09:39 AM.

Just cut any list, then paste it Chrono list is also useful, but the date isn't always known.
