Leroidesanimaux dies

Postby geowarrior » Fri May 27, 2016 11:41 am

According to a rather strange report in the Bloodhorse, Leroidesanimaux has died "earlier this year" as a result of injuries from a paddock accident. http://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-racing/articles/211967/leroidesanimaux-dies-at-16.

I really liked him as a sire and I'm very sad to hear this.

I got the BloodHorse News alert via email and tried to access the link it gave.
It spun endlessly and I couldn't access the article. I also couldn't get the
link so kindly provided in the previous post to work. Am I the only person
who finds it infuriating that the BloodHorse site seems to be so slow?
I have no problem with other sites, so I don't believe it is my computer. :evil:

And yes, I too liked Leroidesanimaux as a sire and hoped he would have
longer as a sire to further his legacy. His bloodlines are different and valuable
for the breed. I have noticed that some of the mares bred to Animal Kingdom
have been exceptional, so hopefully that son will carry on the legacy.

This newsrelease from England isn't much more informative. In person Leroi was a handsome and engaging stallion. I was glad to see him move to Lanwades Stud, which is a beautiful, well-run Newmarket facility. I thought his innate qualities would be more appropriate to and appreciated in Great Britain.
