John’s Call, a grade I winner and millionaire for Douglas Joyce, was euthanized Feb. 18 at trainer Tom Voss’ farm near Monkton, Md., according to Joe Clancy of Steeplechase Times. The 19-year-old gelding by Lord At War out of the Be My Guest mare Calling Guest had broken his right front leg in a field accident.

So sad. It was cool seeing him lead the post parade in his stakes every summer. RIP old dude.

Loved this guy.

We're always sad when lose one, but this is hitting me kinda hard. I was just particularly fond of John's Call. RIP big guy.

I am saddened by his passing. My condolences to the great champion and his team . An inspiring horse has left us behind.

I believe he was the age of nine when he won the Sword Dancer at the Spa and Val's Prince rounded out the exacta at age eight. Love those old turf campaigners!
