AngelaHorne · Wow, thanks for sharing that inspiring, and most insightful tribute. It really touched my heart. Those we lost in 2011 will always be remembered and respected as those we lost in 2010. So glad to hear the update on our dearly loved, "Hollywood" · 162 days ago ·

Bluegrass · Great article Eric. I'm sure the research took a ton of time, but the result is awesome. There were definitely a lot of horses and people to remember this year. At Old Friends, we said good bye to Jade Hunter, who you mentioned (thank you), Awad, Glitterman, Polish Navy and The Wickend North. It is always hard to lose one of the older great ones, but we know they have gone to a better place and we are left with some great memories. Thanks again for a great article. Happy Holidays... · 157 days ago ·

12thCrown · Thank you all for your feedback. When we fail to recognize these monumental achievements we lose our sense of perspective. Several major ommissions include great racers (and sires) Glitterman (26), The Wicked North (22) and Polish Navy (27) - sire of Sea Hero. Thanks to Old Friends Retirement farm for this update. · 156 days ago ·
