Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted September 23, 2021 Journalists Posted September 23, 2021 Santa Barbara (Ire) (Camelot {GB}-Senta's Dream {GB}, by Danehill), the winner of this year's GI Belmont Oaks Invitational S. and GI Beverly D. S., has died after suffering complications from a fractured pelvis. “Santa Barbara fractured her pelvis and unfortunately the fracture displaced overnight,” trainer Aidan O'Brien told Racing Post on Thursday. “It's obviously a real shame for everyone. She was a very talented filly.” Bred by Aidan and Annemarie O'Brien's Whisperview Trading, Santa Barbara won her lone start at two at The Curragh last September and was early favourite for the G1 1000 Guineas and G1 Cazoo Oaks. She missed the board in both those races, but bounced back to be a neck second in the G1 Pretty Polly S. at The Curragh on July 27 before reeling off an American Grade I double. Santa Barbara was a half-sister to Breeders' Cup winners Iridessa (Ire) (Ruler of the World {Ire}) and Order Of Australia (Ire) (Australia {GB}), and their second dam, Starine (Fr) (Mendocino), won the GI Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf for Bobby Frankel.
