TRADGEDY

It is with regret that I report the passing of OKEE DANCER at Clonmel last night. I wasnt at the track last night, but the owner informed me that OKEE had broke his back during a collision at the first bend, in his semi final, and was PTS. He was a lovely dog, with no bad habits at all. He is pictured here with his proud owner, Benny Mahoney, before he even raced. 3 of us reared him from a pup, and we always thought he would be something decent. OKEE was buried in the field where he was reared, so we will always look at the spot, and remember him with fondness. R.I.P. OKEE, it was a privilige to have known you.
