I think that was the 2nd time I saw something like that and the other time was also with Firenze Fire, but that time he was the bitee and not the biter. Too bad. I think he cost himself the race. I think the other time was on the Pennsylvania Derby Day. Not sure how long ago that was. Couple years ago, I think.

Whitmore has been an awfully good one. We will miss him. I can remember him from his races at Oaklawn as a 3 year old before he became a sprinter.
