By Pioneering, out of Apical (Belong To Me), she was 4-3-6 of 19 starts and had earned $231,907, but that doesn't begin to tell the story of what this 5 year old meant to her connections and to all whose lives she touched. Sincerest condolences to all of them.

Best Win, 4 years old, at Happy Valley yesterday.

The former Peter Moody-trained Castagnola, Best Win had a record of 3-3-3 from 21 (he had won twice this season including his last start with Prebble up).

Yesterday marked his very first Class 1 start which he had finally earned. Sadly he broke down and collapsed during the race.

He was owned by the gentleman who owns Thumbs Up.

Rest in peace.

Rocknroll Hanover Passes

(Excerpt):

Trot Insider has learned that superstar sire Rocknroll Hanover was euthanized on Thursday at the age of 11.

Adam Bowden of Diamond Creek Farm, a significant shareholder in the stallion, told Trot Insider on Thursday afternoon that Rocknroll Hanover was euthanized after suffering irreparable complications from colic.

Bowden said that he received word from the Mid-Atlantic Vet Clinic that the stallion had to be euthanized during surgery.

Considered by driver Brian Sears as "the best equine athlete" he's ever sat behind, Rocknroll Hanover put together a record reading 15-5-5 in 26 starts during his career on track while banking $3,069,093. Among his wins were three million-dollar races, including the 2004 Metro Pace, where he made harness racing history as the first two-year-old to pace a mile sub-1:50, the 2005 North America Cup and 2005 Meadowlands Pace in a mark of 1:48.3. The world champion was named Canada's 2005 Three-Year-Old Pacing Colt of the Year and took Horse of the Year honours in the U.S. that season.

Prolific Group One sire Faltaat passes away
Sun, 31 Mar 2013

Paul Vettise



One of New Zealand’s longest-serving stallions has died with the passing of proific Group One producer Faltaat.

“He was 23-years-old so we all understand these things do happen, but it’s very sad to see him go,” Westbury Stud general manager Russell Warwick said. “The boys went out to get him in and he was dead in his paddock.

“I had some people here on Friday and took them out to see him and he was happy, so it couldn’t have happened more quickly or unexpectedly. If it has to happen then it’s best to go out that way and he didn’t suffer.”

The son of Mr Prospector was the winner of 13 of his 20 starts, with all his racetrack successes in the United Arab Emirates.

“He retired as a six-year-old and came to us in 1996,” Warwick said. “He was the champion older sprinter of the UAE before Dubai came onto the world stage. He had a private reputation and was a very talented horse.

“He shuttled to the United States, but didn’t cope with it so we were fortunate enough to be able to buy them out and from 2000 onwards he’s been like a piece of the furniture here. We had a few issues with laminitis in the last three or four years, but the last 12 months he was really good.”

Faltaat made a flying start to his stud career with outstanding results from his first two New Zealand crops.

“He had 17 foals from his first season and they included Tit For Taat, who won five Group One races and was Horse of the Year and Hey Pronto was a Group Two winner and Group One placed,” Warwick said.

“He had 24 foals from his second crop and sired the multiple Group One winner Sedecrem; Rosina Lad who was a Group Two winner and Group One placed and Gwen’s Rules who was a Listed winner and was also Group One placed.”

Faltaat went on to sire Group One winners Taatletail, Jurys Out, Miss Raggedy Ann and Sight Winner, then last year he became a history-maker.

“He produced Little Bridge, who became the first New Zealand-bred Group One winner at Royal Ascot,” Warwick said.

“Last year Faltaat covered 30-odd mares and 19 are due to foal, so the last chapter might not have been written yet – there might be another Group One winner to come.”

SoCal Thoroughbred Rescue:

Very sad news this morning. Irish Katie, a 1997 mare, who we rescued in 2009 from a feedlot emaciated and abused and who made a remarkable recovery, was humanely euthanized by our veterinarian due to a severe colic. Rest in Peace, sweet Katie.

Brian's Time

"His contribution to Japanese horse-racing is huge. At 28 years of age, Brian's Time was still servicing mares. In the morning of April 4, he had covered one mare and was said to be looking fine. But shortly before noon, according to farm staff, on his way back from pasture, he suddenly collapsed, his right hindleg fractured."

Pint-sized hurdler Lady Rebecca dies at 21

By Paul Eacott 1:39PM 21 APR 2013

LADY REBECCA, one of the most successful jumps mares in recent history, has died at the age of 21.

The pint-sized hurdler, who was successful in the Cleeve Hurdle three times between 1999 and 2001, had been suffering from colic.

She won 13 of her 19 races, amassing more than £160,000 in win and place prize-money, having been bought for just 400gns.

Bloodstock agent David Redvers tweeted: "Distraught that Lady Rebecca has had to be put to sleep due to colic. Part of our family for 20 years and we're all devastated.

"Lady Rebecca kick started both Venetia Williams' and my career. She cost 400Gns but had the heart of a lion and won 3 x Cleeve Hurdles Gr1."

Despite her tiny frame, Lady Rebecca, who raced in the colours of the Kinnersley Optimists, was incredibly tough and made a habit of coming out on top in battles up the famous Cheltenham hill with seven of her wins coming at the track where she also finished third behind Anzum in the Stayers' Hurdle of 1999.

Such was her popularity she finished 72nd in the list of 100 Favourite Racehorses voted for by Racing Post readers in 2005.
