I have always believed that .... wasn't it the same thing that got the great Hickstead?  It really seems that it has to be some sort of undetected birth defect in the heart ...

GREAT picture of him doing what he loved ...

And no little Sams in the future - it does SUCK!

Yes, same thing with Hickstead.  That shocked me!  I had just watched a replay the night before of Hickstead with my family and we were all talking about him and then the news the next day.

This just really sucks! 

No other way to put it, just get so sick of all the death's, it never ends does it?

No, it does not end and things like this you can't stop and probably can't prevent either.  All of us have to come to terms with the loss part in our own ways.  It's the flip side of the love we feel for them and the beauty of their sport isn't it?

THis is sad news and such a heartbreak for Baffert and Kaleem Shah.

I know you liked this colt alot also Amy.  Just cannot imagine the owner losing two like this in such a short period.
