A huge loss.
Such an amazing and successful life he had.

In France on Tuesday at Saint-Cloud, Green Sweet, a 3YO Smart Strike colt, won the 1600 meters Prix Omnium II; the Ramseys' Jolly Good Kitten by Kitten's Joy was second.

Very sad. Smart Strike was a wonderful sire.

I just added Smart Strike to the Library at American Classic Pedigrees (http://www.americanclassicpedigrees.com ... e-can.html).

With Smart Strike passing, the only, "big name" stallion son of Mr. Prospector left is Fusaichi Pegasus.
