Two-time Sunshine Millions winner Joint Effort euthanized

by Jeff Lowe

Joint Effort, a multiple graded stakes winner who also scored in two Sunshine Millions races, was euthanized on July 29 after fracturing her pelvis while training at Churchill Downs.

Bred and raced by Donald Dizney, the four-year-old Runaway Groom filly out of C. C. Princess, by Conquistador Cielo, had not raced since a five-length win in the $500,000 Sunshine Millions Distaff Stakes on January 27 at Santa Anita Park.

Joint Effort also won the $250,000 Sunshine Millions Ocala Stud Oaks at Gulfstream Park in 2006.

“She was a good filly and it was just kind of a freak thing,” said Roger Brand, general manager at Dizney’s Double Diamond Farm in Ocala. “We had laid her off for a little chip surgery, and she came back and was doing great. So it was a real blow to us.”

Trained by Dale Romans, Joint Effort also won the Dogwood Breeders’ Cup (G3) and La Troienne (G3) Stakes at Churchill in 2006. She finished second in three other graded stakes.

Bred in Florida, Joint Effort won six of 18 career starts and earned $791,465.

One of my better memories came when she won Derby weekend 2006...RIP Joint Effort, you always tried so hard.
