Raise The Flag (Sadlers Wells-Hansili) has been humanely euthanised at the age of 20.

He raced once and retired injured and due to his pedigree he stood at stud at White Robe Lodge in New Zealand..

"A half-brother to a remarkable five Group One winners including Banks Hill, Intercontinental, Cacique, Heat Haze and Champs Elysees, Raise The Flag was also a half-brother to the Group Two winner Dansili, who went on to become a champion sire."

"From 53 runners in Australia, Raise The Flag sired 36 winners and 7 stakes horses, headed by Gr.1 Sydney Cup (3200m) winner Etah James while smart stayer Ablaze topped A$800,000 in prizemoney with feature wins including the Jericho Cup (4600m) and the Grand Annual Steeplechase (5500m) at Warrnambool.

Had no idea he was struggling with cancer, but sounds as if he pushed back bravely as long as he could. Very sorry to hear this, class act.
I ran marathons. I saw the Taj Mahal by Moonlight. I drove Highway 1 in a convertible. I petted Zenyatta.

Uncorrelated (Arrogate × Harlan's Romance, by Harlan's Holiday) suffered a "cardiac event" and collapsed before the finish line in Race 9 at Aqueduct (11/29/24).

He'd won his debut race in January 2023.
