Feathered Father

yes i know the name is kind of funny. but the stud that died on this track was a legend. he was faster than Gold Nine. He was her sire. He was known all over the world by the time the huge race across the country came around he died of a major heart attack. he was ten years old when that happened. he was buried beside his own sire. his own sire was Feathered Prince. But, he was Feathered Father. So, it all makes sense I think.
