 Vale Time Keeper :( 31 January 2014, 8:41 a.m. Former Group One winner Time Keeper has succumbed to foot problems and was humanely put down this week. He suffered a hoof injury in the paddock following his last raceday appearance at Awapuni in November and subsequently laminitis developed in his other front foot. A son of Stravinsky, Time Keeper and enjoyed an outstanding three-year-old season which saw him win the Gr.1 Easter Handicap and the Gr.3 Manawatu Classic. He also placed in the Gr.2 Great Northern Guineas and the Listed Wanganui Guineas and was fifth in the Gr.1 New Zealand Derby. Time Keeper’s last win was in the Listed Anzac 1600 at Awapuni in 2012 and later finished runner-up in the Listed Opunake Cup. His career earnings surpassed $365,000. NZ Racing Desk https://www.nzracing.co.nz/News/1199...me-Keeper.aspx  A lovely horse to follow. The world lost a good one. There are days when this sport is just brutal. This is one. Rest in peace, good boy. |

Eight Horses Die in Central KY Barn Fire
By Esther Marr, February 9, 2014 10:35 A Feb. 9 barn fire at Equine Integrated Medicine veterinary clinic near Georgetown, Ky., has killed eight horses, seven of which were Thoroughbreds. Veterinarian Clara Fenger, owner of the facility, said the cause of the fire is unknown. An investigator is scheduled to examine the property the afternoon of Feb. 9. "We just had brand new electrical work done in the barn four years ago and it was all to code," said Fenger. She noted her husband woke up to the flames at about 6 a.m., and by that time the barn was fully engulfed. Yearlings by Pure Prize, Successful Appeal , Mizzen Mast , and Proud Citizen were among the horses that perished. All of the horses were scheduled to be sold at the Keeneland September yearling sale. An emotional Fenger said the devastating loss of those yearlings would probably force her to leave the horse business. Among the other horses in the barn was a pensioned broodmare named Excedent, a daughter of Exceller who Fenger had cared for the last several years. Excedent's first offspring, stakes winner Seahawk Gold (by At the Threshold), and last foal, Excedere (by Shakespeare ), were also in the barn. Both had served as successful show horses. Another off-the-track Thoroughbred, Warm Courage, a gelded son of Pistols and Roses and a "solid hunter-jumper," was also among the deceased horses, Fenger said. A second barn at Equine Integrated Medicine where several in-foal broodmares were kept was not damaged by the fire.

Multiple Grade I Winner Urbane Dies at Age 22
By Ron Mitchell, February 26, 2014 2:09 PM6 CommentsBreeding, Kentucky Multiple Grade I Winner Urbane Dies at Age 22 Urbane, the Siegel family's multiple grade I winner and top producer, died early Feb. 25 at Mill Ridge Farm in Lexington after giving birth the previous night to an Into Mischief filly. The daughter of Citidancer was 22. Samantha Siegel wrote in a Twitter post that the mare apparently hemorrhaged and was not in pain before she died. "When one life ends, another begins," Siegel wrote in reference to the newborn filly that is now being cared for by a nurse mare. Bred in Maryland by Frank J. Zureick and Violet Cleveland, Urbane was purchased by Jan, Mace, and Samantha Siegel for $25,000 from the Muirfield East consignment to the 1993 Fasig-Tipton Midlantic September yearling sale. Trained first by Brian Mayberry and then Randy Bradshaw, Urbane won or placed in 16 of 18 starts and earned $1,018,568. Among her eight wins were seven stakes, including the Ashland Stakes and John A. Morris Handicap (both gr. I). The mare placed in eight additional stakes, including the Kentucky Oaks and Santa Anita Oaks (both gr. I). As good as she was on the track, Urbane was nearly as good as a broodmare, producing millionaire, multiple grade II winner Suave, and stakes winner Worldly, both sons of A.P. Indy.
