Oh no, I have to break the news to my boy "Rocky"... Phone Trick was a great horse, in my opinion, and was a bit like Rodney Dangerfield... got "no respect".

I am lucky to have one of his sons, who I believe can be every bit as good as his daddy as a stallion.

I was just reading the news too - guess my vet didn't have a good week either :( Phone Trick was a phonomenal looking horse.

He was also checking in on Betty Mae this past week, along w/his associates. I happened to check his website and came across my Val's (Val du Neuf) 3 y/o colt (in training). Couldn't believe how much he's built like his mother and has her size too, it's the first I've seen pictures of him.

I just learned of this, did he colic, what was the reason? I have his son and grandson standing stud at my farm!

This in my mind is the best bloodline, for personality, and athletic ability! My boys are super sweet guys, and are extremely sane! Screen Trick and PF First Trick!

This is sad news! :cry:
