I can't imagine being AOB and living with this or the guilt of Horatio Nelson.
It's easy to judge others from afar and terribly unfair on my part but I'm human and will continue to display my flaws and blame him.
I'll never forget the feeling, that day, seeing that tarp on the tv and sobbing and frantically posting who IS that, that's not George right, and the sickening feeling afterwards that lasted for days, the profound sadness and unexplainable sense of loss that so many of us felt.
Thanks for reminding us of George... brilliant and a little bit nutty, winners circle rebel, larger than life champion. God he was stunning.

There horses they are bred and trained to run..The colt was infertile and was still young why wouldn't he continue his career as a race horse.. The game is brutal, it's brutal when any horse breaks down on the track.. And if he was so stunning and such a great horse why wouldnt you want his connections to race and expose him to the great fans of racing?
You think they wanted or thought he was going to breakdown? I am sure we are all sad he is gone but mostly because we didnt get to see a really nice miler race more!
