I don’t have a link but little Jax just texted me to say Doyle Brunson passed away.
Poker fans know the magnitude of this one.
Hard to put words to it for me. I’ve owned The Bible for damn near 30 years. What a life.
RIP

Fusaichi Pegasus, who sold for $4 million as a yearling and then lived up to those expectations by winning the 2000 Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs, died May 23. He was 26.
Coolmore reported the passing of the classic-winning son of Mr. Prospector, noting he was euthanized at Ashford Stud May 23 because of the infirmities of old age. He stood at Ashford from 2001 until 2020, when he was pensioned.
That $4 million price is the highest paid at any auction for an eventual Kentucky Derby winner. In fact, no other eventual Derby winner has reached seven figures when sold at public auction as a yearling or juvenile. Beyond horses to win the Derby, Fusaichi Pegasus is the highest-priced horse to ever start in the classic.
