Saw him race in person several times, at GP and two BCs, as well as that Pacific Classic. Met him close up at KHP as well. A true champion.

One of my all time favorites, saw his Hollywood Gold Cup and Pacific Classic, a real star personality, even have a painting and his Breyer. I'm really bummed about this

What a horse! One of few greats that I actually got to "meet," thanks to KHP. RIP big boy.

RIP big guy. So glad I got to meet and pet him last fall at the KHP. A true champion.
