Racehorse TALK

Thanks Wenona for the memories of my 2nd fav. horse of all time. Ifyou think I am getting a little misty you are right, she tried her heart out every time she went to the track.

I think the 2000 Cox platye showed just how good she was. Absolutely destroyed a very good field there.

this is the race that showed how good she was. She beat a world class champ on his home turf.

Totally agree Ara.  Yes he gave her a start and she had a good run in front, but she was the one travelling and doing all the adjustments.  He was right at home. 
Bloody great mare.
I also think that that race is one of the GREAT calls. 
God speed 'ol girl. 

Thanks for the memories champ. The seven length win in the 2000 CP was a cracker.

Beating Fairy King Prawn wasn't too shabby either.

Had the best cruising speed of any horse I've ever seen

Definitely my favourite horse

Coroner investigates David Carradine death

From correspondents in Bangkok, Thailand

June 05, 2009 03:03pm

THAI coroners have completed an autopsy on the body of actor David Carradine, a day after the star of the TV show Kung Fu was found naked and hanging dead in his luxury Bangkok hotel room.

Coroners at Bangkok's Chulalongkorn hospital said they had not yet determined the cause of the 72-year-old's death and were waiting for the results of a toxicology screen.

"This certainly was not a natural cause of death," the hospital's chief coroner, Nantana Sirisap, said.

A maid found Carradine hanging naked by a rope in the closet of his hotel suite at the plush Swissotel Nai Lert Park hotel yesterday, police said.

Reports in UK tabloid papers claim the rope was also attached to his genitals.

Police said there was no indication other people had been in the room, where Carradine had stayed during the shooting of a film called Stretch.

Carradine, from a family of performers and the eldest son of character actor John Carradine, enjoyed a long career on Broadway, television and in movies such as director Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill and Kill Bill 2.

While some media reports speculated his death may have been a suicide, a spokeswoman said neither they nor his family believed Carradine was capable of killing himself.

"His family is in shock," Tiffany Smith of Carradine's management firm, said.

"They have the same belief we have. There was no way David did this to himself."

Carradine wrote in his 1995 autobiography Endless Highway that he had tried to kill himself when he was five years old.

The book also documented his alcoholism and extensive use of drugs, from LSD to cocaine.

He was made most famous by his role in the US series Kung Fu where he played Kwai Chang Caine, a half-Asian martial arts specialist, which earned him an Emmy nomination.

The role of Caine led to parts in more than 200 productions and his turn as the villainous Bill in Tarantino's Kill Bill movies led to his fourth Golden Globe nomination.

Carradine was married five times and had two daughters from previous marriages.

Some Suicide doesn't deserve a RIP imo.

bullshit it doesn't & that is not conclusive yet anyway
