ON AUGUST 30TH 2013 ONE OF THE MOST COURAGEOUS RACEHORSE LOST HIS LIFE. HE WAS RUNNING FOR THE 41ST TIME WINNING MORE THAN HALF OF THEM. HE HAD THE HEART OF A CHAMPION AND THE DETERMINATON TO WIN. HIS NAME WAS SAGINAW A 7 YEAR OLD GELDING RUNNING AT SARATOGA. HE WAS ABOUT TO TAKE THE LEAD WHEN HIS LEG BROKE HE KEPT RUNNING ON UNTIL HIS JOCKEY COULD PULL HIM UP, BUT IT WAS TO LATE HE HAD FRACTURED HIS LEG IN TWO PLACES. HE WAS VANNED OFF TO THE TEARS OF THE CROWD WHO GAVE HIM A STANDING OVATION FOR THEY KNEW THAT THIS WOULD BE HIS LAST RACE. HE LOOKED AT THEM FROM THE AMBULANCE I THINK HE KNEW TOO. THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER SAGINAW AND HE WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN BY HIS FANS OR BY ALL WHO TOOK CARE OF HIM.
RIP IN PEACE SAGINAW,
