Sad news from Laurel Park

3 year-old Connecticat died in a barn fire Sunday, Nov 12, 2006. :(

Cause is still unknown.

RIP Connecticat.

Damn, I didn't see anything in Monday's paper...
A horse gallops with his lungs
Perseveres with his heart
And wins with his character. --Tesio

This is heartbreaking as I know his former trainer quite well and had the chance to watch him run while he was still here.

He sounded like he was going to be a decent race horse.
