Wonderfully pedigreed son of Mr. Prospector. Now he can rest in peace instead of being shuttled all over the globe every year by his demanding owners.

I know... it's just sad. Why does being an older horse = death for so many of these stallions? He bred 40 mares this season... how bad off could he have been? Why couldn't he have just been given a nice retirement instead of euthanization?

They should have just sent him to Old Friends or something like that.

I was too young to remember Woodman racing (or I wasn't born probably..). I recognize him mostly for siring Hansel, who was one my favorite horses when I was a little kid.
