think about it

[the galah]

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.

What a grouch looking horse his was when he was at his peak!!!  Pouncing around the parading ring like The Boss! Then went out and done the same on the track!!!  a real racing  Monster!  

a sad demise.

the life of a racehorse.He wins 12 million,the everest,suffers a massive bleed,survives that against the odds ,retires to be looked after by his everest winning jockey,then  a year later,blow me down he dies a couple of weeks later after what had been described as successful surgery for a colic attack.

I get the first part of that sentence but not the money part.

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.
