This is real sad to me! I have a mare by his Belmont Stakes winning son Commendable.
Mill Ridge people have been very kind to me, and I know they cared for him.
RIP

He brought joy to so many people. He produced fine horses. We will enjoy watching his sons & daughters cross the finish line in the future & produce great runners to carry on his legacy.
May he be a star in heaven the way he was on earth!!

I remember leaving work early one day so I could go out to Belmont and Gone West made his debut that day.

I have a Gone West granddaughter and have had the pleasure of knowing two of his sons and a daughter--all very talented and successful. Needless to say, he has always had a special place in my heart.
(((Hugs))) to those who cared for and loved him.
