Rocky was one of the two (along with Funny Cide) most talked about horses on another forum at one time and for a looooong time. HIs fans, one in particular, was so enthusiastic, outspoken and positive that some of us started to feel like Rocky was tattooed on our collective brains. (We also wondered if this guy had a screw loose and if he was indeed a guy but those are stories for another day).
The guy was so extremely nice... no matter how he was mistreated, mocked or whatever he just kept his happy outlook on life and continues talking and updating on this horses that he loved so much.
So the thing is Rockport Harbor, for us, was a daily occurrence.
Because of him and the ways we handled this one guy we all had him in common. He was like a forum horse... a precursor to Zenyatta only in a not so devisive way.
Don't mean to ramble here but foir the rest of my life it will be impossible to hear this name and not think of those years.
Rest in peace, sweet boy, and thanks for the joy you brought to so many people on and off the track.

If you are out there royal blue, sorry for all of the grief I gave you about Rocky. May he rest in peace.
