Sickening. The thought of any horse being slaughtered with a machine gun by inept, pathetic terrorists is repulsive. One of the greatest horses of the Twentieth Century beyond comprehension. Those responsible are a disgrace to humankind.

I remember seeing a video once of his Derby win. Breathtaking performance.

Poor guy.
