She doesn't actually mention him by name, but we know that prolific Internet horse poet Dee Mirich has been touched in a profound way by Will's imminent departure. Just read between the lines of her latest poem and you'll find a stirring tribute to Will, Deadspin, and of course Grade II Peter Pan Stakes winner Casino Drive. But I caution you: Be sure to have a handkerchief close by. And also a sandwich (it's very long).

Too much here to actually process. Just remember, Will, that wherever you go from here on out, Barbaro's rainbow will be shining on you; and should you ever develop laminitis, don't be surprised if it magically melts away. And, you know, 8 halos, or something.
