Champion New Zealand sire O'REILLY, aged 21.

He was a great racehorse himself, racing six times for four wins and a second. He won the G1 Levin Classic and G1 Telegraph Handicap. The only time he was unplaced was when he suffered a career-ending injury.
But he has been a legend at stud, siring G1 winners Silent Achiever, Sacred Falls, Alamosa, Shamrocker, Master O'Reilly, Final Destination, Fellowship, Guyno, Swick, Shamexpress, The Jewel, O'Marilyn...
Will be sadly missed.
