This is very, very sad.

One hopes you get them off the track and they are able to then enjoy their salad days on a farm.

Prayers are with him and his connections.

This is so sad, at his young age.  I was at Belmont that rainy day in 2009 when he wore down Quality Road in a truly epic stretch duel to win the Jockey Club Gold Cup, and win the "NY Triple Crown" (Belmont, Travers, JCGC).
