She went through the same heartbreak in the Epsom Derby when Horatio Nelson broke down. She rode him every morning and travelled europe with him.

I hate to think how George's groom is feeling right now.

i'd imagine they all feel pretty dammed low. there was a small article in bloodhorse about a lady who's spent all her time working with horses. she worked pine island, and said losing her almost put her out of the sport. you get so attached to them.
