Sometimes, despite all the odds, the good guys HAVE to win! I looked up "Media Puzzle" and found out he had to be put down due to multiple beaks in a leg in 2006. Did he ever sire any horses? The article didn't say. Thanks Bear! I hoped someone had put this up and there you are. :) I, too, just watched the movie and had no understanding about horse racing so all this is interesting. I've lived on the fringes of it. Worked Del Mar one year but it all seemed silly seeing all the $ people lost. Money they couldn't afford so. . . Songs
