Academy Award, affectionately known as Little Red at Old Friends, at 24 years of age. I met him there . . . what a sweetheart. It's interesting how different horses touch us in different ways. Some who may have dazzled us in person at a track years ago, others about whom we have read and seen in videos but never seen in the flesh, and those who maybe weren't great achievers at the racetrack but have had the good fortune to end up somewhere like Old Friends or the KHP where they make terrific ambassadors for the sport. In every one of them I imagine a heck of a story if only they could tell it. Last edited by OldDog : 12-17-2010 at 09:39 AM.

Just cut any list, then paste it Chrono list is also useful, but the date isn't always known.

MMSC thank you for your continuing commitment to remembering these wonderful spirits who have given us thrills and excitement during their short time on this earth. Kip Deville was the biggest thing from Oaklahoma since Will Rogers. Who would have thunk it? May they all run in peace.
