Heartsick adding this name...

Assessment.

Tough old warrior (10 years old) who raced 61 times (last race was a month ago yesterday) and who I always hoped to someday go and visit up at Emerald.

Of colic. :(

His finest moment... winning the 2009 Longacres Mile.

Rest easy, good boy.

Sad to read that. Indeed, a warrior.

So sad. She looked a lot like War Front. I bet she'd have been amazing. I don't think Zenyatta was bred this year so that'll be 2 years in a row for both Zenyatta and Rachel Alexandra that there won't be babies of theirs coming to the track. Rachel is likely done, obviously. I wonder if they had selected a stallion for Zenyatta in 2015 yet and if so, whether that would be War Front again.

County Side 29 yrs old ~ Oldest living son of Secretariat

"Country Side, the oldest living Secretariat stallion, died peacefully at Diamond J. Farms in Texas at the end of summer, leaving many good-brained, big-strided offspring to continue the famous line in Thoroughbreds and in Quarter Horses. And an owner/caretaker who says she never met a horse like her polite, funny stallion."

Champion New Zealand sire O'REILLY, aged 21.

http://www.theinformant.co.nz/racing...t-Waikato-Stud

He was a great racehorse himself, racing six times for four wins and a second. He won the G1 Levin Classic and G1 Telegraph Handicap. The only time he was unplaced was when he suffered a career-ending injury.

But he has been a legend at stud, siring G1 winners Silent Achiever, Sacred Falls, Alamosa, Shamrocker, Master O'Reilly, Final Destination, Fellowship, Guyno, Swick, Shamexpress, The Jewel, O'Marilyn...

Will be sadly missed. :(
