... when he shall die,
Take him and cut him out in little stars, And he will make the face of heaven so fine That all the world will be in love with night And pay no worship to the garish sun... ~ William Shakespeare * * * Texan. 5 years old, at Ascot... http://www.perthracing.com.au/news.aspx?ContentID=34327 |

Marquetry Dies After Accident at Old Friends
By Blood-Horse Staff Updated: Friday, February 1, 2013 8:05 PM Posted: Friday, February 1, 2013 7:52 PM Three-time grade I winner and top sire Marquetry, whose 1991 upset of Farma Way at 27-1 odds ranks as the biggest upset in Hollywood Gold Cup (gr. I) history, died Feb. 1 at Old Friends, the Thoroughbred Retirement Facility in Georgetown, KY. The 26-year-old retired stallion was humanely euthanized after suffering serious injury in a stall accident. Veterinarians from Hagyard Equine Medical Institute attended to the injured horse, and a full necropsy report is expected in a few days. Michael Blowen, president and founder of Old Friends, made the announcement. Marquetry, by 1982 Horse of the Year Conquistador Cielo out of the Vice Regent mare Regent's Walk, won 10 of 36 career starts and earned $2,857,886. He was a grade I winner on both dirt and turf, registering victories in the 1992 Eddie Read Handicap and 1993 Meadowlands Cup Handicap, in addition to the Gold Cup. He is the sire of Breeders' Cup winners and Eclipse sprint champions Artax (1999) and Squirtle Squirt (2001). The flashy chestnut retired at age 6 to Ben. P. Walden Jr.'s Vinery near Midway, KY, but subsequently stood at Stonewall Farms Ocala, Florida division, where he was pensioned in 2010 due to declining fertility. "We have, and will, retire many great horses," said Blowen. "But none will ever take his place." Read more on BloodHorse.com: http://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-raci...#ixzz2JhZMyXHc |
Marquetry...we just visited with him a few months ago. The staff at Old Friends loved him so much, and it was easy to see why.
