Multiple Group 1 winner Hawk Wing has died from colic in Korea. The brilliant winner of the G1 Lockinge Stakes was 26.
The son of Woodman claimed the G1 National Stakes at two for Aidan O'Brien and Susan Magnier. At three, he found only stablemates Rock Of Gibraltar and High Chaparral too good in the G1 2000 Guineas and the G1 Derby, respectively. Back in the winner's circle in the G1 Eclipse Stakes, he ran second in both the G1 Irish Champion Stakes and G1 Champion Stakes. At four, he delivered his career-defining victory, running out an 11-length winner of the G1 Lockinge Stakes at Newbury.
An injury in the G1 Queen Anne Stakes resulted in retirement to Coolmore Stud. He stood there from 2004-2008. From 2009 onward, Hawk Wing was based at KRA Jeju Stud Farm in Korea. A total of 15 of his progeny were stakes winners led by eight group winners. GI American Oaks heroin Cambina and G1 Sydney Cup victor Stand To Gain were his best runners.
Hawk Wing was bred by Hill 'N' Dale Farm, and sold for $225,000 during the 1999 Keeneland November Breeding Stock Sale. Sent back through the ring during the 2000 Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Select Sale, he brought $300,000 from Par Four Racing Stable.
