the galah Posted 5 hours ago Posted 5 hours ago (edited) the life of some racehorses can be fleeting. think about it,was retired after he collapsed and fell to the track 18 months ago, when suffering a massive lung bleed during a race.At the time to most observers it appeared he had collapsed and died,but then he surprised everyone who saw the race and got up and walked away,seemingly looking forward to retirement. Unfortunately last month he got sick again and had to have colic surgery. first signs after the surgery were he had cheated death for a 2nd time,but things took a turn for the worse and he was put down. he was only 7. He had won the everest in 2023 and earned $12m when trained by joe pride. he was a well named horse.people. Edited 5 hours ago by the galah Quote

Are you not really saying what you think or am I over thinking about it? i like that you've thought about think about it but yes i think your over thinking what you think i may be saying about think about it. the money part was reference that money unfortunately can't guarantee life or quality thereof,but that was not my main thought. i hope that clarifies things fior you but maybe it will confuse you more.
