Boy do I feel dumb. Didn;t know that. I know he messed up, but to die young is always sad.

The clearaficacion was a good idea. The last time I spoke with him, he was training down a colt that he was getting excited about racing him. I forgot that baby's name but I always wondered how he turned out and who ended up with him.
