CHAMPION MARE QUEENLEDO SUCCUMBS TO COLIC

AUBURN, Wash. (Dec. 14) – Queenledo, a three-time state champion, died due to complications from colic, trainer Tim McCanna said.

One of only two horses to win a stakes at Emerald Downs at age 2, 3 and 4, Queenledo compiled a 7-7-0 record from 18 starts with earnings of $242,824.

The 5-year-old Washington-bred mare missed the 2007 season with a tendon injury, but had been slated to resume training this winter. She suffered a bout with a twisted colon, however, and died late last month at McCanna's farm in Yakima.

“She was the hardest-trying horse I've ever trained,” said McCanna, the all-time leading trainer at Emerald Downs. “It's a very tough blow.”

McCanna owned Queenledo in partnership with his wife, Jan, his brother, Ray, Harold Krupke and Stu Clifford.

A dark bay mare by Slewdledo, Queenledo captured Washington Thoroughbred Breeders' Association divisional honors in 2004, 2005 and 2006. She won six stakes at Emerald Downs including the Emerald Distaff and Belle Roberts in 2006.
