He may not have been a bonafide superstar, but was a heck of a lot of fun to be around for 4.5 years. Thank you Game On Dude!

And forever R.I.P. Terry Lanni.

Eric Guillot caught fist pumping after hearing the news.

Thank you for screwing me out of the superfecta in the Belmont, Dude. But I forgive. May you abide long and happily in retirement.

Sigh. Now I have to find a new avatar.

one heck of a racehorse, gave his all. enjoy your retirement, you will be missed

My wife had to go to San Diego on business in 2011. While we were out there we decided to drive up to Santa Anita. It happened to be the same weekend that Game On Dude won the Goodwood Stakes. She got a bunch of pictures of him in the race. I'll try to post some if I can find them. He's a special horse and I think Haskin said it best at the end of his BloodHorse.com article...

If one wanted to describe Game On Dude in a short sentence, it would be, "He knew only one way to run—fast!"
