WHAT?

I just checked and he was only 16 years old. Very sad news. You know, when we lose these horses it's like losing one of your heros. Even the lowest of claimers are heros to someone.

RIP Charlie.

sorry to hear that. he's made quite a mark on the sport; hate to see them go at a relatively young age.

Genuinely bad news that I am sorry to hear--he turned out to be a very fine stallion.

IC (two-legged variant), at least you will meet him again up in heaven.

Unhappy Indian Charlie -- wonderful sire

IC passed on gameness and class -- big loss to racing. Uncle Mo looks like sire, I think he will be great sire also.

I didn't know he was a wobbler or had cancer and was stunned to hear he had died at such a young age! R.I.P. Charlie!

What a loss
