At least some of the string in New York were scratched to day out of respect according to the talking heads on ADAR. Sometimes the show does not have to go on.

That was how I found out about his passing, but it hadn’t made public news yet, so waited to say anything.
The 2 MRH horses he had running today were scratched

Kind of refreshing to see them stay in the barn, they have nothing to prove by running them today. Gather it was not unexpected but it is a gut punch to his crew and family.

I agree. It was the respectful thing to do.

Yeah, I wondered why the two were scratched when I got the email (I have shares). Glad they were, the right thing to do.
So sorry. He was one of the good ones.
