Embalming a horse for an open casket funeral is a bit creepy if you ask me.

Embalmed, stuffed into a box and then had his genitals covered by a cloth?

Jeesus, why stop short of putting him in a top hat and a tuxedo for the complete amusement of those "500 to 2000" drooling imbeciles who came out in the rain to see him off ?

Thank you. I never knew of these events. The funeral has provided a historic moment in racing history.
