Eternal Orage, a multiple stakes winner on the New England circuit, died July 15 at Old Friends retirement center of an apparent heart attack. The son of Eternal Prince was 25 and had been pensioned at Old Friends near Georgetown, Ky., since 2006.
Bred and raced by Alfred DiRico, Kentucky-bred Eternal Orage won or placed in 40 of 65 starts and earned $336,116. Included in his 17 wins were the Sam McCracken Memorial Handicap at Rockingham Park and two editions of the Old Ironsides Handicap at Suffolk Downs. Eternal Orage stood at stud at Elberton Hill Farm in Maryland, Mill Creek Farm in New York, and Bri-Mar Farm in Massachusetts before going to Old Friends. During his stud career, he sired 14 winners and two stakes-placed horses for total progeny earnings of just over $700,000. "Eternal Orage was a personal favorite," said Old Friends president Michael Blowen. "I saw him win several races in New England, including the Sam McCracken Memorial, a handicap named for the late Boston Globe turf writer and one of my dearest friends. Eternal Orage kept his own counsel. He displayed a quiet confidence and never caused any trouble. While often overshadowed by his (Old Friends) neighbors Tinners Way and Williamstown, there was nothing not to like about him." http://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-raci...nal-orage-dies  (photo from Old Friends)

Pensioned California Stallion Houston Dies
By Blood-Horse Staff Updated: Monday, July 16, 2012 5:13 PM Posted: Monday, July 16, 2012 4:39 PM Houston, a high-priced sale yearling who developed into a multiple graded stakes winner, died April 12 from the infirmities of old age at Ren-Mar Thoroughbreds near Temecula, Calif. The pensioned son of Seattle Slew out of champion Smart Angle (by Quadrangle) was 26. Bred in Maryland by Ross Valley Farm, Houston was the second-highest-priced yearling of 1987. Consigned by Eaton-Williams, agent for Ross Valley, Houston was purchased by trainer D. Wayne Lukas for $2.9 million at the Keeneland July yearling sale. Houston debuted as a 2-year-old with a 12 1/2-length victory at Belmont Park in July. He raced once more that year, winning at Hollywood Park over another promising colt, Sunday Silence. Placed on the Triple Crown trail, Houston won the Bay Shore Stakes (gr. II) at Belmont Park by 10 1/2 lengths in his 3-year-old debut. He next finished fifth in the Santa Anita Derby (gr. I), won by Sunday Silence, and then captured the Derby Trial Stakes (gr. III) at Churchill Downs. Houston and Sunday Silence faced each in the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes (both gr. I). Racing in the Derby for Lukas, Barry Beal, and L.R. French, Houston maintained a slight lead before weakening near the top of the stretch and finishing eighth behind Sunday Silence. In the Preakness, Houston led for part of race before fading to finish sixth, again behind Sunday Silence. Later that year Houston won the King's Bishop Stakes (gr. III) at Saratoga Race Course and was second in the Tom Fool Stakes (gr. II). Houston raced twice as a 4-year-old before being retired with a record of 5-1-0 from 11 starts and earnings of $240,632. Houston entered stud at Walmac International near Lexington, Ky., and later stood at Getaway Thoroughbred Farm near Romoland, Calif. Houston is represented by 13 stakes winners and the earners of more than $14.2 million. He is represented by 570 foals of racing age, of which 436 have started and 280 have won. Houston's 15 stakes winners as a maternal grandsire include grade I winner Runway Model. Copyright © 2012 Blood-Horse Publications. All rights reserved internationally.

Curlin's Dam, Sherriff's Deputy, Dies
By Blood-Horse Staff Updated: Thursday, July 19, 2012 8:06 PM Posted: Thursday, July 19, 2012 12:47 PM Sherriff's Deputy, the dam of two-time Horse of the Year Curlin , has been euthanized at Issam Fares' Fares Farm near Lexington because of complications from laminitis. The daughter of Deputy Minister was 18. Curlin, by Smart Strike , was Horse of the Year in 2007 and 2008. During his first Horse of the Year season, he won the Breeders' Cup Classic − Powered by Dodge (gr. I), the Preakness Stakes (gr. I), the Jockey Club Gold Cup (gr. I), and two other graded stakes. He finished second in the Belmont Stakes (gr. I) and third in the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (gr. I) and also was voted champion 3-year-old male. In 2008, Curlin captured another Jockey Club Gold Cup, plus the Stephen Foster Handicap (gr. I), the Woodward Stakes (gr. I), and the Emirates Airline Dubai World Cup (UAE-I). He earned an Eclipse Award as champion older male and was a champion in Dubai. Curlin, who ranks as North America's all-time leader with earnings of $10,501,800, stands at William S. Farish's Lane's End Farm near Versailles, Ky. "Sherriff's Deputy has been a dear part of the Fares Farm family for 18 years, and she's responsible for some of our fondest memories," said Shannon White, general manager at Fares. "I'd like to thank farm manager Carrie Clark and veterinarians Laurie Metcalf, Christina Lu, and Raul Bras for their diligence and care in providing for a comfortable and productive life for Sherriff's Deputy. "I have no doubt that Curlin got his grit and determination from this mare; her constitution and resolve were absolutely unparalleled," White added. Bred by Fares Farm, Sherriff's Deputy is out of grade II winner Barbarika (by Bates Motel). Sherriff's Deputy is the dam of two other winners. Her other foals include an unplaced 3-year-old full brother to Curlin named Deputy Striker and a Distorted Humor weanling filly. Sherriff's Deputy was not bred in 2012.
