Toussaud, 2002 Kentucky Broodmare of the Year for Khalid Abdullah's Juddmonte Farms, was euthanized Jan. 5 because of declining health. The 20-year-old daughter of El Gran Senor had been pensioned the last two years. She was the dam of grade I winners Chester House, Empire Maker, Chiselling, and Honest Lady, plus grade II winner Decarchy.

Update: A more in depth article at DRF:
http://www.drf.com/news/article/100900.html

interesting "personal touch" in the article

Quote:
Toussaud also was famous for her quirky personality. Trained by Bobby Frankel, she was known to stop suddenly in the middle of gallops and refuse to move. She also declined to breeze from a racetrack pole, requiring Frankel to breeze her only from the gate. She passed some of her eccentricity, as well as her strength of character, on to many of her foals.

She was obviously a great broodmare but was an even more special character with a very unique personality, said the farm statement announcing her death. ÂThough amazingly stubborn at times, she was never seen to pin her ears or try to intentionally harm anyone or anything. She had a very kind yet powerfully strong and resilient nature that lives on in the competitive juices of offspring of Chester House, Empire Maker, Decarchy, and her daughter Honest Lady.

Aqueduct: Riz Sauvage, a 5-year-old gelded son of Dynaformer, had to be euthanized on the track after suffering a catastrophic injury to his left foreleg during the running of Wednesday's nightcap.

Nor Nor East, an 11 year old gelding, at Cheltenham (Class 2 Annual Pony Club Raceday Handicap Chase) on New Year's day of a heart attack. This was only his 10th start.

No word on Openide, Gaelic Gift and L'Aventure (who either fell or were pulled up).

Jump in peace.
