Angels ~ In Memoriam, 2010
Though we share this humble path, alone
How fragile is the heart Oh give these clay feet wings to fly To touch the face of the stars Breathe life into this feeble heart Lift this mortal veil of fear Take these crumbled hopes, etched with tears We'll rise above these earthly cares Cast your eyes on the ocean Cast your soul to the sea When the dark night seems endless Please remember me Please remember me ~ Loreena McKennitt http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEqpdSKdpxs * * * Show 'Em All, a 5 year old mare, who collapsed and died at Fair Grounds... http://www.nola.com/horseracing/inde...furl_sail.html Run in peace. |

Flag Copado, one of Argentina's best stayers (he had won the Estrellas Classic which is like the BC in Argentina two years ago as well as the G1 Gran Premio General San Martin.), collapsed and died during the G1 Gran Premio Jose Pedro Ramirez (Uruguay).
He was 7. Better days... http://www.lanacion.com.ar/archivo/a.../66/847766.jpg Rest in peace. |
B B Jazz, 5 year old gelding, at Philly on the 4th.
RIP |
Grand Canyon, 7-year-old gelding (5 wins from 20 starts), in the 6th race at Woodville.
Tarbach, 7-year-old gelding (5 wins from 31 starts, including the 2009 Dunstan Championship), in the 6th race at Tauranga. A sad day. :( |

Sometimes you can't let go... let go of how good they were and you keep your hope. Or maybe it's not hope at all. Maybe just a special place - as Kanye wrote "on the other side of the glass in my memories museum" - because watching them sink lower and lower breaks your heart a little bit each time.
You know what could have been. His name was Leo and I guess he was put down after race 1 yesterday at Aqueduct. http://www.derbytrail.com/forums/sho...t=22960&page=8 He was 7 years old. As a 2 year old he was owned by Princess Haya. http://www.tjcis.com/pdf/icsc06/2006worldrankings.pdf (Page 5) I don't have pps for him but if I'm remembering right it wasn't until he did poorly in the BC (Stevie Wonderboy won... Leo way pretty far back) that the downhill spiral began. I choose to remember him being 2nd to Horatio, beating home fields that included horses like Palace Episode and True Cause, being one of the horses most people had in their Godolphin Seven Star stable(s) a few years ago because he was that good and it was expected that he'd go on to greatness. Good night, good boy. There's no way I'll ever forget you. |
Discontent, 4 years old, at Santa Anita yesterday...

It's All About You (IRE), 8 year old gelding, at Leicester after finishing 2nd. This was only his 8th race.
Cherish Witches, 6 year old mare, at Sedgefield. This was only her 2nd start (she had been last in her first race) and she'd gone off at odd of 100/1. Melodeeman, at Penn National. A 10 year old gelding he was running for a crappy 4k. Laughing Moon, at Penn National. He finished 3rd and broke down past the wire. He was 8. http://www.paulickreport.com/blog/tag/melodeeman/ Up and coming star, Versaki... http://www.punemirror.in/index.aspx?...85bc§xslt= |

Heilei, at Canterbury...
(I think he was a 4 year old gelding... sorry for not being sure). http://www.thoroughbrednews.com.au/s....aspx?id=44943 |
My friend smuthg remembered this date last year... since he's not around I'll do it this time.
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. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ienAR...eature=related |
