I saw that about Distorted Humor. One of my friends really loved him. Once when we went to an open house we got to feed him peppermints; Tiznow was only willing to share if one of us was feeding him the whole time.
Rest in peace, Distorted Humor, you were loved.

And more sad news: Afleet Alex dies at 24
I remember watching his Preakness and being astonished at his athleticism. I remember also reading an article about the bond between him and his jockey, and a quiet moment between them after that race some time, where Alex just kind of laid his head next to the jockey’s head. Very sweet. I saw him last year, or maybe 2024, on one of the tours I’d won of Gainesway. He was so sweet to us.
Rest in peace, Alex, you did well in every way. Sniff.

I was just coming here to post that.
He did such a masterful job with Zenyatta. And I still remember the hilarious video he posted where he was trying to wake up Life Is Sweet for her morning workout. I never met him but I have met Zenyatta multiple times....Rest in peace, John, well done.
