This is really distressing. That's a bad loss. IMO that horse was super talented. He was kind of thrown to the wolves a little soon, but I was seriously contemplating playing him in the BC Sprint.

With Zenyatta, Zazu & Cosie Rosie leaving the track, it was kinda thin pickings for the Moss stable for awhile. There are certain owners you want to do good, & once again they had someone who looked the part.

the time to post about him .
