And it would only be fitting if the whole field scratched. At least for the inaugural.

I only just now heard about it. This is so sad. I was hoping somehow we'd get to see him again. Sure it's great seeing things like Zenyatta's Classic win but having Bobby back healthy this year would've been a real highlight to me and I bet we all thought we could will it into happening. My sympathies to his family. I hope Bethenny's feeling ok. This must be a terrible strain.

I wasn't able to be online much Monday to follow the ATR tribute to Bobby, and I decided last night to start going through it. I'm now about 1.5 hrs in and wow, it's hard not to well up. Beautiful job, Steve. I love the outlet you gave so many people to remember him and work through their mourning.

M,

Thanks very much.. Have had a lot of heartening feedback from the effort. Becoming friendly with Frankel the last 4 years was a source of pride for me, and to be able to offer the tribute to him Monday will always be a high point for the show in my mind.
