Thanks, so much MK.
Who said "Buckaroo" in a famous movie? I think I hear Sean Connery's voice saying it for some reason. Ah yes. Hunt for Red October!
I have not seen that movie but I heard it was great Thanks for reminding me.
I agree with you about that rule about artificial insemination in horses being a bit rediculous. Racing is supposed to be such a scientific sport with everything going in the "blood" so I would think they would embrace the technology instead of being so archaic A broken leg is not going to "un-stud" the "studliness" of a horse because he can't climb on top of a mare and "go for it" (although I will not disagree with the males in this forum that they feel it is probably the "preferred" way to go.
) because they are REALLY after the DNA. 


Thanks as well, Soupie.Soup4Rush wrote:I have been following this since the injury 8 months ago too. What a tragedy. I think the owners did everything in their power to keep him alive, but it the end it just was too much to overcome. They were going to make a bundle rather the horse lived or died anyway. I think they had the horse's best interest at heart in this case. Kares have you seen Dreamer with Kurt Russell and Dakota Fanning. kind of along these same lines... awesome movie. Also I heard on ESPN if you cannot register a horse as a throughbred if it was breeded through artificial means. The deed has to be done horsie style. I wonder how you can tell the difference.anyway, I share your pain Kares, What a terrible loss. This horse had he not gotten hurt would have probably became immortal after his career was done.
