I woke up early this morning and had a horse alert PM, opened it, and saw my guy, Dark Shadows had died at the age of 21
He was a turf miler
~Won $3,644,500
~Race record: 29: 12-6-7
~Four Grade 1 wins - including Year 47, the SC Turf Mile.
~Two Grade 2 wins
~Three Grade 3 wins
~Two Non-graded stakes wins.
~Had only 2 races where he did not earn money.
His dam's dam...Mia Principessa -- she was also the dam of my wonderful Turf miler, Won't Back Down who was also a 4 time Grade 1 winner.
It just doesn't seem like he should have been that old...time goes by too dang fast.

Oh I'm sorry Stormy. He was so handsome; I love his markings.
