Grade 2 winner, sire Academy Award euthanized

Posted: Thursday, August 26, 2010 12:20 PM

Academy Award, a Grade 2 winner and pensioned sire by Secretariat, was euthanized on Tuesday at Old Friends Equine Retirement in Georgetown, Kentucky. He was 24.

Pensioned earlier this year after standing at Win Row Farm in Lebanon, Ohio, Academy Award sired Brazilian champion Mr. McCartney, 1999 Grey Breeders’ Cup Stakes (Can-G1) winner Four on the Floor, graded stakes winner Emergency Status, and seven other stakes winners in 16 crops of racing age.

Peter Blum bred and raced Academy Award, who won the 1991 Early Times Manhattan Handicap (G2) at Belmont Park.

Secretariat’s remaining sons at stud in the United States are Akram at Green Meadow Farm in Virginia, Country Side at Diamond J Farms in Texas, Innkeeper at En Avant Equine Enterprises in Pennsylvania, Regal Secret at Harris Training Center in North Carolina, Thill a Sec at Rieff Thoroughbreds in Wyoming, and Tinners Way at Key Ranch in Texas.

It is very sad to see another Son of Secretariat go. We own Country Side, he is 25 years old, and doing quite well. We have mares in foal to him for Spring 2011. www.DiamondJFarms.com

24 is not that old. I have a 28 and a 25 year old in pretty good health. What was wrong with him?
