![]() Three-time Canadian champion Rainbows for Life was euthanized in the Czech Republic on Saturday due to the infirmities of old age, Racing Post reported. He was 24.
Rainbows for Life initially raced as a homebred for Sam-Son Farm, then was campaigned in partnership by Sam-Son and Josephine Abercrombie’s Pin Oak Stud in 1993, his final season on the track. The Lyphard horse was named Canada’s champion two-year-old colt in 1990 and champion grass horse and older horse in 1992. Rainbows for Life won 15 of 36 starts and $1,105,926 during four seasons of racing. Half of his ten career stakes wins came in graded stakes company, including course recordsetting performances in the 1991 Hawthorne Derby (G3) at Hawthorne Race Course and the 1992 New Hampshire Sweepstakes (G3) at Rockingham Park. Rainbows for Life entered stud in Ireland in 1994 and was sold two years later to stand at Hrebcin Napajedla in the Czech Republic, where he became a leading sire. Through Tuesday, he has sired 144 winners who have earned a total of $6,848,938. His 29 stakes winners include Czech champions Sixteen, Ready for Life, Ray of Light, Monolit, Vacaria, and Matter for Love, as well as Austrian champion Killer Queen. Out of two-time Canadian champion and 1994 Canadian Broodmare of the Year Rainbow Connection, Rainbows for Life was a half brother to Group 2 winner Colour Chart and stakes winner Always a Rainbow.

![]() I just read that there is still no word as to what he died from as the connections are too upset to talk and that (this is where I started crying) he was buried with his favorite ball.

![]() As someone pm'd me to ask, this was his 15th start.
He had only had one win and it was back in 2007. He only had a total of three starts this year and had fallen in the first, at Ffos Las. Trainer "unknown" (I haven't seen that before), AP Mc Coy rode him once, he was French, went off at 6/1 and the only comment is this... Unruly start, fatally injured and pulled up before 1st (op 9-2) That's everything I can find. Sorry he's gone. |
