It never gets easier to hear when a horse you have followed since they were youngsters has passed away.
I emailed Mountaineer after I heard the news that he was vanned off in his last race. Unfortunately the news coming back was not good. He was euthanized.
Conjugal Visit was a 2003 chestnut gelding by Yes It's True out of Erie Delight. Erie Delight is a Thirty Six Red mare that ran almost 50 races in her career, winning 3.
Conjugal Visit himself ran 15 times. He made his debut at Tampa Bay Downs in March 2006, finishing 10th in a field of 12. He followed up with three consecutive 2nd place finishes in maidens at Philadelphia Park and Monmouth. In September 2007 he won his first race, a maiden claiming at Meadowlands. He won his first race of 2008, a claiming race at Mountaineer on 24 May. It was his last victory.
I will miss him...
Condolences to all his connections.
