Wooden Phone, wasn't it? They probably would have named him Wooden Cell 10 years later!

Yep, that is the one. He won some very nice races, but the end of his career was not a happy ending.

The gelding returned off a 15 month layoff for new connections and was eased. No idea what happened to him afterwards.

Some of us appreciate him TREMENDOUSLY!!!! Always have and always will. All these years later, still, I've not ever had so much feeling for a racehorse as I did when he turned for home in the stretch run of his second Classic. I can watch Chris McCarron tap him right now and cry all over again....

Returned from that 15 month layoff with a $40K tag attached to his name, too. Not sure if owner was that hard up for the dough, as he owns several car dealerships in Dallas (never mind the $800+ earned by the horse itself), but whatever.

At any rate, the horse ended up in a ex-racehorse rehab program called LOPE and was adopted by one of its volunteers despite being a bit of a headcase with a bad ankle and two bowed tendons.

Here's one of several stories on the horse's life after racing:

It is not what you call her, it is when you do it.
