Sounds like he went quick, and peacefully...a blessing.

Still remeber his electrifying maiden-breaker at gulfstream.Dont think Ive ever seen another maiden-breaker that wowed a nation so much.It was impossible to live up to all that hype after that,but he did very well.RIP.

Question: Does anyone know the status of Pulpit's trainer Frank Brothers? Is he still alive?training? He and Shane Sellers were a hot tandem in Pulpits day.

Retired in 2009. I don't remember when he married Donna Barton. He was checking-out yearlings and 2YOs for Keeneland sales at one time, don't know if he still does that.
Lives in Louisville.

Don't forget Hansel and First Samarui.
