Patton, a stakes-winning son of Lord at War and a retiree at Old Friends Thoroughbred Retirement farm in Georgetown, KY, was euthanized at Hagyard's Equine Medical Institute January 5th.

Michael Blowen, founder and president of Old Friends, made the announcement today.

The 23 year-old-stallion had been at the clinic for several days undergoing diagnostic and medical care. He was beset with a variety of medical issues that severely impacted his present and future quality of life.

"We're extremely grateful to Dr. Kathy MacGillivray and to Dr. Gina Tranquillo for their kind concern for Patton's welfare," said Blowen in a statement.

Patton (Lord at War (ARG) - Slew Me Down, by Seattle Slew) was campaigned by Skip Away trainer Sonny Hine and won six of his 18 starts, including the GR 2 Breeders' Cup Handicap at Gulfstream Park in 1996. His track earnings totaled $237,462.

Entering stud in 1997, Patton sired Precisionist Stakes winner Patton's Victory, bred by Brereton Jones, and millionaire Kelly's Landing.

"Patton should have been named Gandhi," added Blowen. "He was one of the kindest stallions we've ever had at Old Friends. Like so many of his predecessors, he is irreplaceable. We are just grateful that he let us take care of him in his later years."
~Old Friends

Rough month continues for Old Friends with the loss of Dancin' Renee.

Quote:
GEORGETOWN, KY - JANUARY 13, 2014 - Dancin' Renee, a graded-stakes-winner and 1997's New York Horse of the Year, has died.

The 22-year-old mare lost a long battle with laminitis and was euthanized on January 11 by Dr. Brian Fraley at Old Friends, the Thoroughbred Retirement farm in Georgetown, KY, where she had been pensioned.

"It's been a tough month," said Old Friends president and founder, Michael Blowen. "We lost Patton and Sunshine Forever in the last week, and now Renee. I mourn the losses but thank all of their fans for their support-particularly the thoughtfulness of Jeanne Mirabito of Our Mims for sending a colorful bouquet of flowers in memory of Sunshine Forever.

A homebred for owner Sanford Bacon, Dancin' Renee was the New York-bred daughter of Distinctive Pro out of three-time New York Broodmare of the Year Lolli Lucka Lolli.

For three seasons, Dancin' Renee had a stellar career on the track earning 14 wins from 21 starts. In her banner year, 1997, she claimed seven consecutive victories, including the GR3 Honorable Miss at Saratoga, the Broadway Handicap at Aqueduct, and the Monmouth Park Regret Stakes, which was her final start. Her earnings totaled $490,258.

For her efforts she was crowned 1997's New York Horse of the Year as well as Champion Sprinter and Champion Older Female by the New York Thoroughbred Breeders, Inc.

As a broodmare Dancin' Renee was well represented by numerous winners, including her first foal to earn black-type, the Limehouse daughter Risky Rachel who, on Saturday, won the Minaret Stakes a Tampa Bay Downs.

"I don't know what to say," said a heart-broken Sanford Bacon. "Dancin' Renee, who was named after my mother-in-law, a Ziegfeld girl, meant everything to us." A few hours later, Bacon was in the winner's circle at Tampa Bay accepting a trophy in celebration of Risky Rachel's impressive performance.

Vale Time Keeper

31 January 2014, 8:41 a.m.

Former Group One winner Time Keeper has succumbed to foot problems and was humanely put down this week.

He suffered a hoof injury in the paddock following his last raceday appearance at Awapuni in November and subsequently laminitis developed in his other front foot.

A son of Stravinsky, Time Keeper and enjoyed an outstanding three-year-old season which saw him win the Gr.1 Easter Handicap and the Gr.3 Manawatu Classic.

He also placed in the Gr.2 Great Northern Guineas and the Listed Wanganui Guineas and was fifth in the Gr.1 New Zealand Derby.

Time Keeper’s last win was in the Listed Anzac 1600 at Awapuni in 2012 and later finished runner-up in the Listed Opunake Cup. His career earnings surpassed $365,000.

A lovely horse to follow. The world lost a good one. There are days when this sport is just brutal. This is one.

Rest in peace, good boy.

Eight Horses Die in Central KY Barn Fire
By Esther Marr, February 9, 2014 10:35





A Feb. 9 barn fire at Equine Integrated Medicine veterinary clinic near Georgetown, Ky., has killed eight horses, seven of which were Thoroughbreds.

Veterinarian Clara Fenger, owner of the facility, said the cause of the fire is unknown. An investigator is scheduled to examine the property the afternoon of Feb. 9.

"We just had brand new electrical work done in the barn four years ago and it was all to code," said Fenger. She noted her husband woke up to the flames at about 6 a.m., and by that time the barn was fully engulfed.

Yearlings by Pure Prize, Successful Appeal , Mizzen Mast , and Proud Citizen were among the horses that perished. All of the horses were scheduled to be sold at the Keeneland September yearling sale. An emotional Fenger said the devastating loss of those yearlings would probably force her to leave the horse business.

Among the other horses in the barn was a pensioned broodmare named Excedent, a daughter of Exceller who Fenger had cared for the last several years. Excedent's first offspring, stakes winner Seahawk Gold (by At the Threshold), and last foal, Excedere (by Shakespeare ), were also in the barn. Both had served as successful show horses.

Another off-the-track Thoroughbred, Warm Courage, a gelded son of Pistols and Roses and a "solid hunter-jumper," was also among the deceased horses, Fenger said.

A second barn at Equine Integrated Medicine where several in-foal broodmares were kept was not damaged by the fire.
