With her win in the Sweet Solera S (G3) today, Lake Victoria became Frankel’s 100th group/graded SW.

He is partially owned by Airdrie already. So if he moves that would be my guess.

Hope he continues to do well- stud fee likely will increase if continues to have winners

Lest We Forget: Ornament, A Reminder Of Farms Gone By
https://paulickreport.com/news/bloodsto ... ms-gone-by

ORNAMENT (Order - Victorine, by Onondaga) | 1894 - 1916 | 12x SW, finished second in 1897 Kentucky Derby, U.S. Horse of the Year & Champion 3-Year-Old Colt for 1897.

If I had known about him I definitely would've tried to make time to visit his grave when I was in Kentucky.

There is no article yet but Indiana stallion Skylord (Sky Mesa - Skyscape, by Marquetry) died August 9, 2023 due to a "cardiac event." He was 16.

Skylord had a very short racing career, winning twice in five starts. He stood at Breakway Farm in Dillsboro, Indiana his entire stud career. Skylord is the sire of numerous regional stakes horses and has been a perennial Top 10 sire in Indiana. He is a descendant of Somethingroyal and therefore a relative of Secretariat.

Skylord is also one of the most handsome thoroughbreds I have ever seen. His build was very "quarter horse." Breakway has shared a video on Facebook of him nuzzling a toddler, so I take it he was a very good tempered and friendly boy. Hopefully he got several mares this year.

R.I.P.

Slumber (GB) finally got his first G1 winner - over fences, no less - with Jimmy P. in the Jonathan Sheppard today. Given how few foals he sired while he was at Calumet, he's done quite well imo.

They mentioned a tendon or ligament injury following a work. I can't remember which.
