    • Even the Score (Unbridled's Song–Ashtabula, by Rahy), a resident of Old Friends for the past year, has died at the age of 26 after colicking. He was euthanized at Rood and Riddle Equine Hospital on Saturday, Apr. 13. A MSGW & GISP during his four-year racing career, Even the Score stood at Rosendo “Ro” Parra's Millennium Farms before he was pensioned in 2020. Among the 17 career black-type winners he sired from his 15 crops are multiple Grade I winners Dullahan and Take the Points. “Even the Score was a special horse to our family,” said Parra. “My wife and I shed some tears when we learned he had to be put down. Even the Score was our first graded stakes winner. We are very thankful to Old Friends for taking care of him over the past year.” John Nicholson, president and CEO of Old Friends, added: “Although Even the Score enjoyed a proud career both on the track and at stud, he was particularly special to us at Old Friends because he was a friendly and gentle stallion who was beloved by everyone at the farm. We will miss this good horse and will always honor his memory.” The post Even the Score Dead at 26 appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • I remember Ascona winning the great race twice for Kenny. Ardri looking no hope for most of the race with Kenny hard at work only to then grind / plod past them all. Brother Bart and Lord Tennyson who both looked good things as did Sydney Jones with his double. Golden Flare with Clayton Chipperfield winning his double in the early 2000's. Was there to see them all including the great ones you quoted Pete and a host more. Without a doubt this was the winter racing highlight for me so I'm incredulous at it being gone.  It's exactly as if history is worthless and meaningless to some. Thought the same when they dug up the mighty Cardigan Bay after he put NZ on the map in the eyes of many. A carpark was more important than him and his legacy.
