I know he was at 25 and when they are up there in age like that it's only a matter of time. But it's still a shock

I wonder what they mean when they say he was put down due to foot issues from old age

:( Sweet Speightstown. Out of all the horses I thought was gonna pass this year, he sure wasn't one of them. Had the pleasure to meet him at WinStar this summer and he was about the kindest horse I've ever met.

The sense of loss is compounded for me because we lost his handsome son, Speightster, just last year at only 10. He was doing well in his short time at stud and had a bright future.
