For the most part the eulogies are confined to the Angels thread.
I think your comment of finding it disturbing hit the nail on the head.....and has generated a lot of chatter on many forums.
It goes back to connections, surfaces, among other issues, breeding shed, retirements, etc, but mainly controversy surrounding the trainer.
And while yes I absolutely agree he was not one of the "top level" horses, he was a horse that many people knew about due to his competition record. I liked him and I'm sorry to see him gone.
