“The love of an underdog is the reason Gordon Lord Byron had a massive fan base and why his death from a heart attack at the age of 12 while preparing for his 109th start in the Gladness Stakes at the Curragh this weekend was mourned around the racing world.” - Mark Smith, Breednet.com.au (June 10, 2020)
