PS: I hope the BH keeps tab on Pancho as much as they will on Curlin. Panch deserves a life of sweet grass retirement.

That was a great story!! It's nice that Pancho finally got his time in the spot light!! I'm sure Curlin appreciates him a bit more after his long trip to Dubai -- no more biting Pancho's ears!!

LOVE U CURLIN,

Cheryl

Ohhh:) Pancho 'bounced on his toes when he saw Curlin':)

What a LOVELY story and a LOVELY man who allowed it to unfold!

Thanks for sharing this with your readers!

Pancho has got to be Curlin's biggest and most important supporter. It's wonderful that he was made part of Curlin's 'party'! A very special day for both horses.

Thank you for this sweet portrayal of the true and abiding friendship between these two great horses. Long may both of them run!

Slan abhaile (safe home in Irish) to you, dear Curlin, dear Pancho. We shall keep a light lit for ye back home.

I'm so glad Pancho got to take care of his charge. It is, after all, his responsibility, and he doesn't take that responsibility lightly. No wonder everyone in Dubai loves him. Luckily pony horses don't run for claiming tags---otherwise, he'd be living large in Dubai for the rest of his life.

Neat article. Congrats to Pancho and team. I'm so proud of Curlin and his achievements. "Long Live The Great Curlin" Hope to see him at Santa Anita in the fall to complete the Breeders Double and move on to his next life as an equally great Sire...
