Barn Fire Kills Sire of Countess Diana
by Leslie Deckard


A Sept. 25 fire at Velocity Farms near Benton, La., killed 12 horses, including Deerhound, sire of champion Countess Diana. The cause of the fire is being investigated.

Shanna Berry, who co-owns the farm with Sandi Blackburn, said in addition to Deerhound (Danzig—Lassie Dear, by Buckpasser), the Thoroughbred stallions killed included: Banderas (Seattle Slew—Bandore, by Forty Niner), El Lobo (El Corredor-Justine, by Pirates Bounty), Filmore (Concern— Quality Gal, by Full Pocket), and Wild Wildcat (Forest Wildcat—Pent Up Kiss, by Pentelicus).

The remaining horses that were killed were Quarter Horses, Paint Horses, and Friesians.

“You never think something like this could happen to you,” Berry said. “This is one of the worst things imaginable.”

Berry added that three Thoroughbred stallions, Aggadan (Carnivalay—Georia K, by Horatius), Raska Deputy (French Deputy—Raska, by Rahy), and Tigerline (Unbridled’s Song—Silken Cat, by Storm Cat) were turned out in paddocks at the time of the fire and were not injured.

Countess Diana won the 1997 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies (gr.I) the year she was champion.

A necropsy is planned for Sept. 25 on all the horses that died in the fire.

My first thought is sorrow.


My 2nd thought is that I am slow to trust anything or anyone out of Louisiana.

For the record, I've held that view for many years before Louisiana politicians f'd up Hurricane Katrina prep and response.


I'd be checking insurance and "time, motive and opportunity" with a microscope on this one.


If I'm wrong, I really sincerely apologize.

You should have just stuck with your first thought.....

Your 2nd thought was a totally ridiculous & offensive statement on a very tragic situation.

"Sheriffs investigators and the state fire marshal are investigating the fire at Velocity Farms, which is located off Highway 3 behind Benton High School.
A dog trained to sniff for accelerants went through the remains of the barn today but found no evidence of arson, investigators said. The barn and stalls were made of metal, investigators said. There was hay scattered all over it and the office and tack room were made of wood, firefighters said. The fire is believed to have started near the office, investigators said.
"We don't have any reason to believe this was arson, but we're going to wait and hear from the state fire marshal," sheriff's Lt. Ed Baswell said.
Because racehorses are involved, the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives was also involved in the case. "
