I know some heard the Second of June news and were devastated. Lost in the Fog, Saint Liam, Electrocutionist, too many lately. We all take each death a certain way but some are harder for each of us.

I have a friend who quit following the sport after Warrsan died. She's since come back, just like I did, but it took a while.....

So tell me..... have you ever quit and by that I mean temporarily? Have you ever felt like you can't take much more of it?

Just wondering. So many lately..... a hard sport to love at times.

Yes, I quit after Ruffian for a long time, I was only 12 but horse racing was my passion, I even walked to the corner liquor store to buy Turf Monthly. I was just devastated by her death, watched it on TV, she was my favorite horse at that time, even over Secretariat. I of course came back again and than took another hiatus after watching Go for Wand go down, I just completely became focused in my own horses, and than of course came back again, this time for Cigar.... and that was a treat.
