[8] Alright then, since some of you are so hyped on it, how'd you die?
It's listed as colic, but arsenic was found in my blood stream, so some people blame it on pesticides others call it murder. I'm one of the most scandelous deaths in the industry.
Old age got me, back home.

Pulled carts in the streets of Lexington until my death.
Running in a race well past my prime, I broke a foreleg and was destroyed.
Broke down in a famous match race against the best colt in the country.
Died at age 10- reason unknown.
I didn't prove a very good producer, and I died at the old age of 22.

Whitney Farm.
No place special.
Douglas, Wyoming, in Washington Park under a statue.
Belmont infield.
At home in true cavalry style- facing west, legs in the running position.
Unknown.
My body was exhumed and mounted in a museum in Melbourne.
God only knows....

[10] Lastly, what is a quote someone has made about you?
Unknown...You'd have to look up some old papers for that kinda stuff.
"____ ___ was a mighty runner from Down Under..."- Micheal Williams, The ____ ___ Story.
"She has won the greatest race in America and I am satisfied."- H.P. Whitney, trainer.
None other than one fo the last; "Don't let her suffer any more."- Stuart S. Janney, owner.
None available.
Hm, it was said the 2 1/2 overweight pounds he carried in the Derby was cocaine, thus he was celebrated as one of the "great hopheads" of racing history.
"_______ is his name, but he looks like Murder, Inc." - Walter Haight, Washington Post.
"___ _______ was the kind of horse one sees once in a lifetime. He certainly was the fastest horse I ever trained or saw. If he had been sound, there is no telling how fast he would have run."- Frank D. Weir (trainer), The Great Ones.
