Sad News:Steve Irwin Was Killed

[Buffymommy]

My husband heard that they (the stingrays) were like 10-12 feet long or wide that Steve was swimming with. I was just talking to a friend at lunch about Steve, who said that she read the ray felt trapped because Steve was floating on top of it while the camera man was in front of it.

They do grow huge. We saw three of them out boating one time that were AT LEAST five feet wide. They were swimming around the boat. Needless to say, I did not get out of the boat.

Most of the rays that people swim with have their stingers cut off. Heard that at the news yesterday.

Does anybody remember the old NY horse named "Corma Ray". I believe he was an allowance or claimer who raced in the late 80's - early 90's. If anybody has any information regarding his whereabouts I would greatly appreicate it.

I was wrong, Corma Ray was more a mid 90's horse and it actually won at least a couple notable races:

1994 & 1995 runnings of the Hudson Handicap
1995 running of the Gen Douglas Mcarthur

Timmy Hills trained him and Choppy rode him most of the time.

What a hard knocking animal.

Well, Aqueduct named a race in 2002 after him; here's the link. Fifth race:

Corma Ray, that is, not the Crocodile Hunter. "Crocodile Hunter"'d be a good name for a racehorse, though.

I dont plan to be the primary person in charge of my grandkids. I am with my daughter. Im not saying I want to die. Im just saying I wont feel as much guilt thinking about it when I am alive and my daughter is out on her own instead of still needing me. MY WIFE!!!! I just pester the living crud out of her. (Can you imagine that?)
