Brian, I'm sorry for your loss, it's never easy losing one we love
So, what was this horses name? My favorite horse is a 4K claimer in Northern California, Proud Patrolman - he's approaching double digits in age but that boy sure can run...
The horse dying in front of you reminds me of a friend who went to the races with me and she really liked the looks of one of the horses, he was a beautiful bay and was wearing four "pink socks" (her words, not mine) and she fell in love with the races during post parade just watching him strutting around - - that is, until he broke down at the 16th pole and and thrashed on the ground until they put the tarp up and drove him away in the van... she never went to another race again
I hate it when they die in front of us
