There are many, many lovely tribute videos. I was trying to decide which link to post but then I thought no... how about instead of mourning his death we remember and celebrate his life.

Foresight, at Uttoxeter...

He was 5.

Too Forward, 14 years old (is this right???).

He won the Bruton Handicap Chase at Wincation (Jan. 23) and collapsed and died immediately following the race, poor guy.

Champion Lodge, today.

I know that he came very close to being slaughtered and was rescued, but not much more than that. Maybe someone who does know the story could post?

Anyway, I know he was sick so at least he's not suffering any more.

Rest in peace.

Don'tputmeback, at Philly yesterday...

http://www.drf.com/drfPDFChartRacesI...=20100202&RN=9

Brenna (AUS), 10 year old mare, fell and was euthanized on track earlier this month. This was her 106th start.

Poor girl.

Indy Driver, 5 years old, at Lingfield on the 2nd...

Treasulier, 13 years old, fell and died at Wincanton on Jan. 23rd...

Horizons (AUS), 3 year old filly, at Randwick on Jan. 30th..

I started following him because of his name...

It seemed like he disappeared... a 20 month layoff... but he came back and won!

I had heard he was gone but I won't add any name unless it's confirmed and so a month later, I finally found it.

Britts Jules was in the race too (he's fine). Wasn't he 3rd in the Super Derby? Something like that. All those 2004 races seem special... I guess cause they were the first I had ever paid any attention to.

It's a shame to watch them drop down. All these boys were running for a tag (4 thousand).

Anyway, at Golden Gate on January 7th, in a race I guess not many cared about, IB Bad, who had just turned 10, came in 2nd.

He sadly died after the race.

Since no one bothered reporting this here's all I could fine.

IB Bad... knows how to win.

IB Bad prompted the pace to the turn, raced three wide to the stretch, dueled the winner.....

Rest in peace.
