Sad news.. Dr. Dave Magliaro (docicu) gone
 

Have the sad responsibility of reporting Dr. Dave's unexpected passing. The news came inadvertently to Jack (Slews My Hero) last week through correspondence with Dave's wife. He was a great fan and loved to play the game. He was here with us all from the start of Derby Trail and some of us got to know him in person, especially Hooves when he was working for a stretch near Maryland. He was very supportive of everyone's horseplaying and always appeared sincerely happy when someone did well. And of course whenever there was a traumatic jockey injury, 'docicu' was on hand to let us know what to expect. Will be missed... RIP Doc.

Very sad news. Sympathy to his wife and family.

My deepest condolences go out to Doc's family.

Rest in peace Doc.

Very sad news. RIP Doc.

Very sad news.

Thought and prayers go out to his family.

Sad to read this. May his family find peace.

A doctor that genuinely cared about people. A rare thing.

What happened Steve?

Had the pleasure of spending several days at the races with Doc, including the very memorable Rachel Alexandra Preakness. He was there for me for support and explanation when I went into panic mode over my mother's ovarian cancer. A truly wonderful gentleman, scholar, and friend that is gone too soon. RIP Dave this Preakness is for you :(

Would anybody be interested in sponsoring a race in MD in his honor? I'd be happy to coordinate if there is interest.

He always took time to provide thoughtful insight and perspective to medical and non medical topics. Unfortunately never had an opportunity to meet Dave, but he sounds like he touched many lives. Very sad to read this and RIP.

Not entirely sure but he had his own health issues off and on the last few years. This was sudden though so heart attack would be assumption.

Sad to hear this. Condolences to the family.

Really saddened and shocked to hear that he has passed away :(

Here's his last post here about Larry Jones.

I always enjoyed his posts - very sorry to hear.

Terrible news. I'm very sorry for his family.

That sucks. RIP doc and condolences to his family.

He was always very encouraging on the selections thread.

I am shocked and saddened to hear this very unfortunate news. I never got to meet Dave personally, but he was always an informative poster. My condolences to his family and RIP.

What a shame. This is sad news to hear. RIP

Rest in peace, Doc. A good man.

This is a shame.

Doc was a great guy. I still have a private message of his, that I've saved all along, from back when I had some dental issues.
