Terrible. It was obvious how much that horse meant to his connections.

I second what Steve said; stunning horse. RIP.

I'm absolutely stunned . . . I loved this horse, followed him as closely as I could, was so looking forward to seeing him race again. I was always convinced that he had that "it" factor needed for greatness.

My most heartfelt condolences to his humans.
