This morning at Saratoga. I believe they euthanized him on the track, it was pretty severe.

At Belmont, actually. Still, a very sad loss. R.I.P. Kensei.

He had not been added to Vinery NY roster yet, sadly he would have been a nice addition for 2012. With Spendthrift standing Dublin and Kensei at Vinery/Empire NY would have had 2 very nice first year stallions right in the Hudson Valley.
