Don't be sorry... we've all made mistakes.

From Old Friends:
Kano Doble, who resided at Old Friends for seven years, was humanely euthanized last week at Hagyard's Equine Clinic due to complications resulting from a raging infection. "Mick," as he was known to many volunteers, wasn't a tourist attraction. He resided in the gelding herd at the furthest end of the farm and mostly kept to himself. But, sometimes, these great animals take the most unexpected times to show their inner strength. Just after he passed on, his Hagyard's veterinarian said he was remarkable kind especially in the face of his pain. Stoic until the end. Kano Doble was the 13-year-old son of Horse of the Year and 3-Year-Old champion Holy Bull, out of the Irish-bred Hard Ridden mare Kanduit. Kano Doble, aka Mick, had 33 starts, 1 win - at the age of 5 in a 1-1/6 maiden claiming race at River Downs- and earned $22,119 in his career. He retired in 2005. |

El Macho...
http://www.racing.ny.gov/breaksrch/s...il.php?ID=6481 * * * Ibn Bay, 28, in Japan... * * * Cassius, a 10 year old gelding, collapsed and died during a race at Kelso. He had won only twice in his long career, both times in 2009. Pulled up in his last race last month, he had gone off at 50/1. Poor old guy. Rest in peace. |

That's terrible news ed. How sad.
There was a young jockey in Singapore who died in an accident, I think on his way to the track, a couple of weeks ago. I'm sorry to say I can't remember his name. * * * CANADIAN CHAMPION TU ENDIE WEI DIES Canada’s champion 2yo filly of 2011, TU ENDIE WEI has died. More details to come on Brereton Jones’ wonderful homebred filly. The Johar filly, a brilliant speedster who won 5 races, all stakes, from 12 races including the Grade 3 Seaway Stakes, is a half sister to Horse of the Year Biofuel. http://www.horse-canada.com/thoroughblog/pause/ * * * Tweebster... http://www.equibase.com/static/chart...123012USA7.pdf * * * Nana Beach, at SA...
