That's really cool that John rode Noor. $5000 shouldn't be hard for them to raise if they get the article into the right hands, Bloodhorse, Thoroughbred Times, DRF, or even have Old Friends post something. Or maybe if people ride Santa Anita hard enough they will okay his burial there which would greatly lessen the cost.

I hope Noor is relocated and moved to a spot where he won't be disturbed in this world again. He deserves that much. That says alot for John's horsemanship that he was only one of two people allowed to ride him in retirement.

And see the end of Hovdey's most recent blog for a way to donate for Noor's transport to a final resting place, AND a video glimpse of Noor in top form plus his PPs:

what a wonderful article.The only thing i disagreed with,was that Old Friends was talking about exhuming Skip Away too.And i don't agree with that.I agree Noor should be exhumed, because his grave is in danger of development and will be lost.But Skip Away's isn't. Skip Away should be able to remain in his final resting place at Hopewell,since Hopewell was his home

Hopewell is for sale. That may be the reason of the thought to move him.

The article says that Noor suffered from dementia in his later years. Hadn't heard that before. The Nasrullahs tended to be pretty crazy though, so maybe that was part of it.

Noor is way overlooked - I am so greatful he will be at Old Friends and be able to forever Rest In Peace and be known and "discovered" by racing fans - wish I could be there - if anyone goes = let all know how the ceremony goes..

Cheers and tears for Noor .... and Ms. Farmer.
