What a courageous Horse this Aldaniti ! That makes me remind of Flambeau C and Jappeloup, Wonderful horses ! I hope they have many many carotts in paradise !!!

What a moment for horse racing that was brillant.

Sadly the trainer of Aldanti, Josh Gifford passed away yesterday.

R.I.P Josh.

Still makes me cry .You couldnt make this up. Horse and jockey on death row, beat the odds and show that despite what happens you can win dispite the odds that stacked against you

"Just because a life's a little banged up don't mean you gotta throw it away" (from Seabiscuit)

This phrase holds true here too. Bob Champion and Aldaniti proved that no matter what life throws at you anything is possible if you have someone or something to cling onto and believe in.

Sidenote - testicular cancer is a killer, regular checks will save your life guys :))
