Per Bloodhorse:
Mentor Cane Mentor Cane, second in the grade I Foxwoods King's Bishop Stakes Aug. 24 at Saratoga Race Course, was euthanized on Sept. 12 following an injury he incurred during a morning workout. The 3-year-old suffered a right-hind lateral condylar fracture and a comminuted right-hind P1 fracture, according to Dr. Anthony Verderosa, chief examining veterinarian for the New York Racing Association. Trained by John Shirreffs and a homebred for owners Jerry and Ann Moss, Mentor Cane was a colt by Mizzen Mast out of Vixana. He posted a five-length maiden victory July 6 at Belmont Park in his third start. He was fourth in the Amsterdam Stakes (gr. II) July 28 at Saratoga prior to the Foxwoods King's Bishop. |

Dayjur-Per Bloodhorse:
European champion and sire Dayjur was euthanized Sept. 25 at Sheikh Hamdan al Maktoum's Shadwell Farm in Lexington because of the infirmities of old age, according to an announcement from the farm. He was 26 and had been pensioned since 2010. "Dayjur was one great racehorse. He gave Sheikh Hamdan, and all of us at Shadwell, many great thrills including his shadow-jumping antics in the Breeders’ Cup," said Shadwell vice president Rick Nichols. "He was the cornerstone of our stallion operation, and he was a wonderful horse to be around. He will be deeply missed." Bred in Kentucky by Georgia Hofmann, Dayjur was by leading sire Danzig out of champion sprinter Gold Beauty. He was purchased at Keeneland July by Sheikh Hamdan for $1.65 million and went to renowned trainer Major R. W. (Dick) Hern to win seven races and finish second three times from 11 starts. Dubbed "the fastest horse in the world" by Racing Post, Dayjur was the Horse of the Year, champion sprinter, and champion 3-year-old in England in 1990, and was the top weight in Europe and champion 3-year-old in France. Dayjur set a course record winning the Keeneland Nunthorpe Stakes (Eng-I), won the Prix de l’Abbaye de Longchamp (Fr-I) by daylight under 137 pounds, went wire-to-wire in the Ladbroke Sprint Cup (Eng-I), and won Royal Ascot’s King’s Stand Stakes (Eng-II). One of his most memorable performances came in the Breeders’ Cup Sprint (gr. I). He appeared to be on his way to victory, but jumped a shadow deep in the stretch and finished second by a neck. Dayjur was retired to stud at Shadwell Farm in 1991. During his career he sired three champions, some 30 stakes winners, more than 60 stakes horses, and is the broodmare sire of a number of major stakes winners as well.

Shocked. |
Extraextraordinary, the worst part of a very rough afternoon for Doug Fout and M/M Strittmatter at Far Hills. Bred by Mrs. Weber/Live Oak out of the Gone West mare Scoop, the 6yo Giant's Causeway gelding landed badly out of the last jump in the 1st Division of the Foxbrook and had to be euthanized. Trained to 2 wins on the flat by Nick Zito, Seth Benzel & Eddie Plesa before Fout earned a pair of jump victories at Colonial and Genesee Valley.

Harlan's Holiday Euthanized in Argentina
By Eric Mitchell, @BH_EMitchell Updated: Saturday, November 2, 2013 9:03 AM Posted: Friday, November 1, 2013 9:43 Harlan's Holiday WinStar Farm's Harlan's Holiday , currently North America's leading juvenile sire, had to be euthanized late Nov. 1 at Haras Firmamento Farm in Mar de Plata, Argentina, where he was standing for the Southern Hemisphere breeding season. He was 14. After a normal day and an uneventful cover in the afternoon, Harlan's Holiday suddenly collapsed when returning to his stall and lost all use of his hind end. He prolapsed intestine from his rectum and was in shock as veterinarians rushed to his care. Multiple efforts to repair the prolapse were unsuccessful, and Harlan's Holiday had to be euthanized. "This is a horrible tragedy," said Chris Baker, WinStar general manager, in a news release from the farm. "There is some comfort in knowing that I was at Firmamento just two weeks ago and found Harlan's Holiday to be the picture of health receiving the highest standard of care. In the end, we are greatly saddened by this loss, not only for the shareholders but also for the breed." A multiple grade I-winning millionaire on the racetrack, Harlan's Holiday was entering the prime of his career as one of the emerging top sires in North America. He enjoyed a record-setting year in 2012, breaking the all-time juvenile earnings mark for a sire in North America at $2,954,556. Harlan's Holiday was led by his first Eclipse Award champion and Breeders' Cup winner, Shanghai Bobby, who completed the season as an undefeated grade I winner. In 2013 Harlan's Holiday had another sensational year to date, including again being the leading sire on the Juvenile Sires list with earnings of $1,345,854. His top 2-year-olds this year include graded-stakes winners Hakeem (gr. I), Ami's Holiday (gr. III), and Poker Player (gr. III) among his four juvenile stakes winners and eight juvenile stakes horses. Harlan's Holiday also ranks sixth currently on the general sires list in North America for 2013, and has sired 17 total stakes winners so far this year. "It was an honor and a privilege to own Harlan's Holiday throughout his racing career," said Starlight Racing's Jack Wolf, who campaigned Harlan's Holiday and many of his top progeny on the racetrack, including Shanghai Bobby. "He gave my family and our partners many thrills, and helped deepen our appreciation of the equine industry. It is a sad day for all involved." Bred in Ohio by Double D Farm Corp, Harlan's Holiday is out of the Affirmed mare Christmas in Aiken. Read more on BloodHorse.com: http://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-raci...#ixzz2jUmjb5XI |

8 years old. Winner of 14 of his 34 races. At his peak, I think he was the fastest horse I've ever seen in the flesh. Just so much speed. So sorry for all those connected to this great sprinter and his many fans. |
