Default War Pass Dead

Shame. . .

From TDN:

Champion and multiple Grade I winner War Pass (Cherokee Run--Vue, by Mr. Prospector) died Dec. 24 at William S. Farish's Lane's End Farm near Versailles, Kentucky. The five-year-old stallion had just arrived the evening before in good order from standing his second Southern Hemisphere season at Widden Stud in Australia. Preliminary necropsy results are inconclusive. According to a press release, on the morning of his death, War Pass showed no signs of illness or injury. He was turned out in his paddock and died several hours later. “We are very saddened to lose such a promising stallion. His first foals arrived this year and were extremely well received. He will be buried in the Lane's End cemetery,” said Farish.

That is just so devastating . I was hoping he'd be able to stand in the Phillipines, South America, and Austalia again for the next 10 southern hemisphere seasons plus KY, NY and Canada too .

That's a shame. Always had a fond spot for him.

Actually, I thought it was. I detected disapproval in the way of pointed sarcasm in Richard's post.
