Recently-pensioned stallion and G1 Dubai World Cup winner Roses In May (Devil His Due) died Tuesday at Japan's Big Red Farm according to a report by Japanese media Wednesday. An article linked on social media reads in part:

“Roses in May died on the evening of the 4th due to inability to stand. During his active career, he won the GI Whitney Handicap in 2004 and the G1 Dubai World Cup in 2005, and became a breeding stallion at Big Red Farm, siring Dream Valentino, who won five major races including the JBC Sprint in 2014, and Cosmo Oozora , who won the Yayoi Sho in 2012. In addition, as a dam's sire, he has also produced successful horses such as Uberleben, who won the 2021 Oaks. He had been experiencing discomfort in his gait since the end of last year and it was discovered at the beginning of the year that he had atrophy of the lower back. On the 10th of last month, it was announced that he would retire as a breeding stallion without breeding this season due to his physical condition.”

“Roses in May produced many successful horses and classic winners as a broodmare sire,” said an official statement by Big Red Farm. “We had hoped he would live longer, so it is a great pity. We pray that he rests in peace. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to everyone who supported him up until now.”
