Con Lima, the multiple Grade 3-winning daughter of Commissioner, suffered a fatal stall injury Wednesday evening at WinStar Farm in Lexington, Ky. The news was broken by co-owner Eclipse Thoroughbreds on Twitter Thursday morning.
“We're devastated to report Con Lima suffered a catastrophic injury in her stall last night and had to be euthanized,” the Tweet read. “Con Lima epitomized all that was good about Thoroughbred racehorses and our heart goes out to her, our partners, her breeders and all who cared for this grand gal.”
The 4-year-old filly was at WinStar preparing for a 2022 campaign.
