Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted February 3, 2024 Journalists Posted February 3, 2024 Grade-I winner One in Vermillion (Army Mule) was euthanized Friday at a clinic in Phoenix due to the effects of laminits, according to his owner Jonathan Kalman, in a story posted by the DRF. According to that story, the H. Allen Jerkens Memorial S. victor had been preparing for a trip to Kentucky for the Keeneland January sale, where he was slated to go through the ring as a stallion prospect, when a farrier noticed the colt was foundering in his opposite foreleg of the injured fetlock sustained during a workout at Zia Park in November. “We called the vet immediately,” Kalman told DRF's Steve Anderson Friday. “He'd been with the vet since Dec. 27.” Hailing from humble beginnings as a $26,000 yearling from ARZNOV, the California-bred had more travel miles to his credit than most people, but thrived on the schedule, winning the tragic edition of the GI H. Allen Jerkens Memorial after New York Thunder broke down on the lead. He picked up the Lazaro Barrera S. at Santa Anita and Sunland's Riley Allison Derby among his four wins in 2023. He also hit the board in the GIII West Virginia Derby in the lead up to that Grade I score and made runner-up appearances at Prairie Meadows and Canterbury in the Iowa and Canterbury Derby, respectively.
