I know there are inevitably tragedies that come with foaling season, but for some reason, this one really feels like a punch in the gut. :(

This is such terribly sad news. She was tough as nails on the track, that 2nd Distaff win was something to behold.
May she RIP

She was a magnificent mare. Very sad for her loss.

Royal Delta's filly with her foster mom. She is a lovely girl.
