I went to this pedigree website as soon as I saw the tweet about accident this morning and someone there had already written a career summary and short obit. (Tap the little "i" in the circle next to the horse's name to view). I've been thinking about this all day and was glad-in-sadness to see I am not alone.
I had wondered why this horse wasn't at stud at his age. Perhaps he was infertile, or just the type who was frustrated except in training. I do not believe he would not have been kept racing at 8-1000K claiming levels. Doesn't really matter at this point, because he was a throwback stakes horse who was still competitive at the time of his death.
We should treasure the memories of the tough ones who seem not to age just like we treasure the brilliant ones who only have a few races. And all the rest too, even the slowest maidens who probably should be pleasure mounts after a few tries.
It's nice to know this horse was well loved and respected.
