Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted May 24, 2021 Journalists Share Posted May 24, 2021 Laoban, a leading second-crop sire, has died unexpectedly, WinStar Farm announced today. The 8-year-old son of Uncle Mo had relocated to WinStar Farm last year from Sequel Stallions in New York and was standing his initial season at WinStar. “It is with heavy hearts that we have to announce that we lost Laoban this morning,” said Elliott Walden, WinStar's president, CEO, and racing manager. “He had quickly become one of our favorite stallions, and it's sad that we will not have the opportunity to see how influential he could have been as a sire. His passing will leave a tremendous void for all of us, and he will be greatly missed.” As a sire, Laoban is represented by Grade I winner Simply Ravishing, a 6 ¼-length winner of the Alcibiades S. at Keeneland, and Grade II winner Keepmeinmind, winner of the Kentucky Jockey Club S.. The latter is multiple Grade I placed and was most recently fourth in the Preakness S.
