Zitat: Michael Owen,

"It's the saddest day of my life. The toughest, most honest, most brilliant horse I will ever set eyes on passed away today doing the thing he loved most. A shattered hind leg that was irreparable according to the first class team at The Curragh ended his life. I was with him when he was born, shared an experience for 7 years that will never be repeated and gave him his last kiss goodbye. What an honour to own and breed him. I love you Panther, life will not be the same without you."
