I posted the following in the "What Happened To" thread, but didn't find out anything, so thought I'd try posting it here...

I was looking at the Bloodhorse state listings today and noticed that Cat Thief wasn't listed in the Penn. state listing. I went to the Penn Ridge web site and he's no longer listed, so I went to the Registry and it looks like he was exported to Saudi Arabia. I've never been able to find a date of export, but there's no return, so I'm assuming it was recent. I don't remember reading anything about it, so just wondering if anyone might know...
Thanks...

It does look recent- because he does have a 2013 mares bred report on file at JC. Is there something that I am missing?- JC only shows a Export report- not the country. Always wondered how I could find out which country they go to.

Bridgetown, who was standing his first season at stud at Questroyal North in Stillwater, NY, passed away last month after suffering "hemorrhaging complications". He was standing his first season up there, not sure how many mares he got or what the injury was exactly

What a shame. I know people get up in arms over how they shackle down mares, but that's why. And sometimes they just can't do enough.

I'll say. I haven't really seen him since his racing days, and his appearance has changed a bit! Beautiful.

What a shame. His owner tried so hard to make him as a stallion--and was well on his way to succeeding. It must be heartbreaking to lose him now.
