Vicar's In Trouble is gone

They reported he was euthanized from his injury sustained in the '14 BC Dirt Mile, when he tried to run with Goldencents.
Sounds like they tried to do a bunch of stuff to get him sound enough to stand stud.... but my God, sometimes I think trying to save them is more cruel.

I feel really bad for this horse. I followed him with interest when he was racing.
It does look like he had a long struggle after his injury and I'm sorry he didn't win
that battle. It is very unpredictable what will happen with laminitis- usually it seems
they don't make it- but, then, there are examples like Lady Eli who do recover.
