From Old Friends

Quote:
Dec. 5, 2008: Flying Pidgeon, winner of the Grade One Hollywood Invitational and member of the Calder Hall of Fame, was humanely euthanized this morning at Old Friends Thoroughbred Retirement in Georgetown, Kentucky due to the infirmaties of old age. The 27-year-old son of Upper Case out of Miss Minnesota was retired to Old Friends by Jane White and the Flying Pidgeon Syndicate in October, 2006.

Flying Pidgeon won or placed 23 stakes, 18 of them graded, in 56 lifetime starts and earned $1,154,337.

"Yesterday, Flying Pidgeon was resting in the late afternoon sun," said Old Friends founder, Michael Blowen. "When we went to put him up for the night, he wouldn't get up. Within minutes, Dr. Doug Byars was here administering steroids to help the old guy. By this morning it was clear that Pidge was telling us it was his time."

A ceremony in his honor will take place at Old Friends in March.

Three Chimneys Farm owner Robert Clay announced Dec. 5 that inaugural Breeders' Cup Classic (gr. I) winner and prolific stallion Wild Again was euthanized earlier in the day due to the infirmities of old age. He will be buried in the stallion cemetery located next to the main stallion barn at the farm near Midway, Ky.

12 year old Toulouse-Lautrec (IRE), who was 2nd at Exeter today (Axminster Carpets Devon Marathon Handicap Chase)...


Toulouse-Lautrec, who returned from a layoff with a solid effort over hurdles earlier in the month, stayed on dourly to finish runner-up in this event for the second occasion. He sadly died shortly after the race, however.

Jump in peace.

Mighty Beau.

I don't know if any sites will bother with an obit so from memory I know he won the Aegon Turf Sprint and was once 2nd to Soaring Free (Canadian HOY) but i can't remember which race. I'm pretty sure he was in the Hollywood Turf Express.

Back when Mullins trained him, he ran at Royal Ascot in the King's Stand Stakes and the Golden Jubilee. I think he was 5th in the King's Stand.

Anyway, he was pulled up at Penn National a couple of days ago and they were kind enough to write back.

Nice horse who died trying running for a crappy $4 thousand.

Run in peace, good boy.

That sucks.

I remember racing our gelding "In the Red" against him at Remington.

RIP

Thrice Worthy, who holds the modern day steeplechase record by number of consecutive wins, has been euthanized at owner Sally Nims’ Dogwood Springs Farm near Versailles, Ky., because of colic complications. The gelded son of Twice Worthy was 32 and had been owned by Nims the last 23 years.
