Deceased Stallions

Strange but true. I was just talking with someone about Good Journey passing, and she told me he actually shuttled to California some years ago now. I saw the photos that proved it . Small world.

RIP Magnus Broken Heart

That is a pity AA I thought he was one of the nicer Snitzel types although big he was in proportion, just dud fertility

AA, Saw Good Journey in SA along with the great Hussonet ( who looked a lot like a quarter horse/arab/TB, he had some unusual looking double muscling going on) and not very tall. Ambidexter was a good looking type. Also a beautiful grey import shuttle stallion whose name escapes me. Had a few winners here though. Rhiann was retired and out the back somewhere, not available to look at.

Yes I saw G J somewhere in SA. Hussonet at Arrowfield before he got sent to the back blocks.

Racking my mind trying to think of the grey. On tip of tongue but just wont come out of the grey matter.

No, for me, not Dalakhani, saw him in Ireland. Zebedee rings no bells.

No. I cant for the life of me even think where I saw Good Journey.

Have to go back thru reems of pics as it was before digital.

I remember seeing Hussonet in the Valley and thinking at the time wouldn't want to meet you on a dark night. He was built like a bruiser. Muscle on muscle.

I dont believe it was Cornerstone where I saw Good Journey . Confused

A smaller place with not so many horses.

However, not that it matters, as G A has solved it for Sister Clap

Dalakhani is a stunner isnt he !!

The mention of Dalakhani reminds me the old boy Da Deputy won 1st up over 2200m y/day at Coleraine.
What an old marvel he is at 9yo & been running in picnics at his previous prep. Clap

It takes a wise man a lifetime to grow a tree and a fool five minutes to kill one.

Falbrav dies in Japan aged 26

Popular international jetsetter Falbrav has died at the age of 26, according to reports in Japan.

Trained first by Luciano d'Auria in Italy and then by Luca Cumani in Newmarket, he had the rare distinction of winning eight Group 1 races in five different countries.

Falbrav had been pensioned from stallion duties in Japan in 2015 after suffering from some health issues and had remained a distinguished guest at Shadai Stallion Station. He is said to have died on Friday morning.

Shadai manager Eisuke Tokutake, quoted by Nikkan Sports on Saturday, said: "He passed away around 11.30am yesterday. It was due to old age. He seemed to have been suffering from some colic, and he had been feeling a little unwell since the end of the year.

"The offspring also did their best, and the dams and sire left behind some good horses."

Bred by Azienda Agricola Francesca, Falbrav was a son of Fairy King out of Gift Of The Night, a Slewpy mare who won in France.

A winner and Group 2-placed as a juvenile, he went on to finish second in the Italian Derby before making a tremendous Group 1 breakthrough as a four-year-old in landing both the Premio Presidente della Repubblica and Gran Premio di Milano, and later being sent on a daring raid for the Japan Cup, which he won under Frankie Dettori.

Teruya Yoshida later bought into the powerful individual, who moved to Cumani and added the Prix d'Ispahan, the Eclipse and Juddmonte International before finishing a narrow second behind High Chaparral in the Irish Champion Stakes.

He won the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at Ascot, was third to High Chaparral again in a blanket finish for the Breeders' Cup Turf and rounded off an exacting and glittering career by taking the 2003 Hong Kong Cup under Dettori.

He spent most of his stallion life in Japan, but had a brief tenure at Cheveley Park Stud and also shuttled to Arrowfield in Australia.
