Grade II Winner Running Stag Dies
By Blood-Horse Staff Updated: Wednesday, August 15, 2012 4:10 PM Posted: Wednesday, August 15, 2012 4:10 PM Running Stag, a globe-trotting son of Cozzene who competed in many top races, died at stud in South Korea in June after suffering from an unspecified illness, according to the Racing Post. He was 18. Bred by Kentucky by Khalid Abdullah’s Juddmonte Farms, Running Stag was one of three stakes winners out of French classic-placed Fruhlingstag (by Orsini II). Running Stag initially raced for Abdullah and later for Richard J. Cohen. Racing in England, France, Germany, Dubai, and Hong Kong as well as in the United States, Running Stag carved out a record of 7-11-2 from 40 starts and earnings of $1,633,227. Running Stag experienced his greatest success in the U.S., earning $1,177,640. He won the 1999 Brooklyn Handicap (gr. II) and the Saratoga Breeders’ Cup Handicap (gr. II), plus the 2000 Massachusetts Handicap (gr. II). He finished third in the 1998 Woodward Stakes (gr. I) to subsequent Horse of the Year Skip Away and Gentlemen. He contested that year Breeders' Cup Classic (gr. I), finishing seventh. Overseas, Running Stag won the Prix Gontaut-Biron (Fr-III) and was twice stakes-placed in England. He finished second in the Hong Kong Cup (HK-I) and twice competed in the Dubai World Cup (UAE-I), finishing seventh both times. Running Stag entered stud at Frank Stronach’s Adena Spring South in Florida and later stood in Texas and Louisiana before South Korea. Running Stag is represented by 12 stakes winners including Italian champion Great Uncle Ted, Canadian grade II winner Stunning Stag, and U.S. multiple grade III winner Romacaca.

Prominent English Broodmare Colorspin Dies
By Blood-Horse Staff Updated: Thursday, August 16, 2012 3:52 PM Posted: Thursday, August 16, 2012 10:08 AM Colorspin, a major producer for Meon Valley Stud in England, died Aug. 13 at age 29. Bred in France by Meon Valley, Colorspin (High Top–Reprocolor, by Jimmy Reppin) was a two-time stakes winner, with her biggest score coming in the 1986 Gilltown Stud Irish Oaks (Ire-I) for Helena Springfield Ltd. Colorspin produced a remarkable number of foals, 16, of which Opera House, Kayf Tara, and Zee Zee Top were group I winners. "She leaves an outstanding legacy, and we have lots more to look forward to with Zee Zee Top and her daughter Izzi Top," Meon Valley owner Mark Weinfeld told the Racing Post. "Her son Kayf Tara has established himself as a leading National Hunt sire, and Opera House has also been a success at stud." Opera House, by Sadler's Wells, was a European champion as well as a champion in England, Ireland, and France. His major win came in the 1993 King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Diamond Stakes (Eng-I). Opera House contested the 1993 Breeders' Cup Turf (gr. IT), finishing sixth. Kayf Tara, a long-distance specialist, also was a European champion and one in England and France. A full brother to Opera House, Kayf Tara won the Ascot Gold Cup (Eng-I) and the same race again when it was run as the Gold Cup. Zee Zee Top, by Zafonic, scored her major win in the Prix de l'Opera Casino Barriere d'Enghien Les Bains (Fr-I). Izzi Top, by Pivotal, also was group I winner, capturing the Barclays Bank Ireland Pretty Polly Stakes in Ireland July 1. Another of Colorspin’s daughters, Spinning The Yarn, is the dam of Irish champion Necklace. Copyright © 2012 Blood-Horse Publications. All rights reserved internationally. |

That's so sad. That was one of the best performances of the week at Ascot, and I thought she was going to be a great 3-year-old. |
