Its sad that he didn't win, but its a very happy thing that he will not be raced anymore at a level that would tarnish all that he has done, and he will now go to a line of work that I'm sure he will enjoy!!!
This horse won a million the HARD WAY. He didn't win it with a fluky performance in an overinflated purse race, he won it knocking out win after win. He was a true throwback to the horses that I watched in the infancy of my passion, back in the 80's. A true warrior. Great job by his connections the whole way through, right to the end.
