May they run with the wind

I didn't even know about this until I got a phone call from a fellow member here. What a shame they kept such an obviously unsound horse in training for so long, especially since despite his lack of graded stakes wins he still could have gotten a few mares in foal with his royal breeding (do we want more unsound genes, though?). Regardless, what a loss. I had a bad feeling about this horse with all his stops and starts from the beginning.

Pointsoffthebench, dual graded stakes winner and contender for BC Sprint, died on the track this morning.. .RIP. He was my favorite for the race.

Condolences to Mike Smith and all of Pointsoffthebench's connections and fans.  What a heartbreaking turn of events, Yakteen's first ever G1 winner, on the verge of running in the BC.

Tears here - as an Alydar fan I follow his progeny and really enjoyed watching Points Offthebench and felt that he had a good chance to win his race.
Then I read jjacks1 post and 2 of the 4 also have Alydar bloodlines.
May ALL who were listed RIP and condolences to all of their connections...
