I needed that, seriously. I laughed harder at Comet's hard pass than at Az's river crossing. :rotflmao:

If you are a horse, that's the way to go.

Horses don't have actual heart attacks, the way humans do. They do suffer aneurysms, though.

One of my first horses, Donald, died the same way. I happened to be watching the horses grazing out in the pasture, not more than 50 or 60 feet away from Donald. Donald suddenly threw his head up, ran in a panic up a five or six foot rise, and fell over. I somehow knew as soon as I saw his head go up that there was something wrong, and ran out to him. The whole thing took less than a minute, and I know he didn't suffer very long.

He was a fabulous old boy.

I just saw the racing authority in CA has ordered a full autopsy. Medina Spirit was 3 years old.

I think a necropsy is standard when a horse dies on the track.

Fajr (registered name Valiant Guy) and I finished our 100 miles of Virtual Tevis yesterday.

Azastan, for the first 100 miles. (Az)

Nejed Nijm Zarik, for the second 100 miles. (Comet)

Valiant Guy, for the third 100 miles. (Fajr)

3 different horses, 300 miles of walking.

I do some strange things for fun, apparently.

Santa Anita had, what, 37 track deaths in 2019; 20 each in 2020 and (so far) 2021. That sure seems like a lot, don’t it?

Lots of people out there ragging on Bob Baffert, saying he drugs his horses.

I guess this means no one appears to be interested in Fajr's completion.

Oh well, Fajr and I enjoyed ourselves.

I think you and Fajr (and Azastan, and Nejed) did a fantastic job. Sometimes I don't post because I'm too bizzy being jealous. :mrgreen:

I wasn't on much yesterday, so I hadn't seen your post, but I think that's very cool! Well done to both you and Fajr!
