I was working at Santa Anita all weekend and after the latest setback, everyone was pretty resigned to his fate. It was just too much.

The Eclipse Awards - racing's equivalent to the Academy Awards - were held here last week (should have gone, but I didn't) and the whole industry was behind him. It's such a shame.

If there could be one positive to come out of all this, it's the flood of supprt and money that has come into help other injured horses like Barbaro.

Very sad.
