Edit- Whisper Hill's mare

Didnt see anything on social media unless I missed it. A rough year for Pope in losing 3 expensive mares

[mariasmon]

I've found a few mares who died this year.

Above Heaven (Mr. Greeley/Lady Joanne)
Reunited (dam of Code of Honor)
Whisper to Me

[mariasmon]

Medalla Match broke down in the Andy Guest S. at Colonial. Cherie Devaux tweeted that she was euthanized, as none of the possible options to save her looked promising.

Longtime Indiana stallion SKYLORD died August 9, 2024 from a "cardiac event."

[TapitsGal]

American Cleopatra had a foal in February and seems to have passed on since then

[CoronadosQuest]

I've barely heard anything on Cleopatra since she retired, aside from her justify foals. When did she pass?

Not sure, report is from this year that's all I've got

This year. She was gone by the time i visited in April

Did Hill N Dale own her?

Did Hill N Dale own her?

Yes in partnership with Stretch Run Ventures, whoever that is. They seem to own at least a handful of mares together.

I wonder if she passed of a foaling complication

[Mylute]

American Cleopatra had a colt by Maclean's Music on February 4.

It is reasonable to assume she died of foaling complications but it could also be unrelated to that.

[BaroqueAgain1]

This is tragic news. She was truly great.
Michael Wrona paid tribute to the undefeated mare by relaying, 'the legend is that she was never touched with the crop.'
I don't know if that is true, but all her races I watched showed me a horse with a fierce will to win.

[tachyon]

Black Caviar was truly the best sprinter and will never be forgotten.
Her victory in the Diamond Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot was so dramatic.
May she rest in peace.
