CECIL SADDENED BY CHIEF'S DEATH By PA Sport Staff Commander In Chief, Henry Cecil's 1993 Derby winner, has died at the age of 17 at a stud in Japan. Owned and bred by Khalid Abdullah, his career on the track consisted of only six races but following his success at Epsom he went on to win the Irish Derby at the Curragh, despite not running as a two-year-old. Unfortunately, his exploits as a stallion did not quite match up to those on the track and reports from Japan have indicated that he sustained an injury when out in the paddock at the Yushun Stallion Station and he was put down on Tuesday. "I am very sorry to hear of the death of Commander In Chief - he was a good Derby winner," said Cecil. "He never ran as a two-year-old and to go and win the English Derby and Irish Derby as a three-year-old was quite a feat. "I know he gave Prince Khalid Abdullah tremendous pleasure being by Dancing Brave who was very unlucky not to win the Derby and out of his great mare Slightly Dangerous who was the dam of the likes of Warning and Yashmak among others," he told the Racing Post.

So sad. I wish there was more we could do for colic cases.

King's Drama dies after surgery King's Drama, a stakes winner in California, France, and New York, died in the spring from complications of an injury suffered after a surgery, trainer Bobby Frankel said. King's Drama, 7, raced for Gary Tanaka and won 10 of 31 starts and $1,157,916. He underwent surgery to repair a ligament near a knee when he suffered an injury "while getting up from surgery," Frankel said. King's Drama won the Grade 1 Sword Dancer Handicap at Saratoga in 2005 and the Grade 2 San Luis Rey Handicap at Santa Anita in 2006. In his final start, he finished 11th in the Grade 2 Mervin Muniz Jr. Handicap at Fair Grounds in March. In Europe, King's Drama won the Group 3 Prix de la Jonchere in France in 2003. http://www.drf.com/news/article/86248.html
