Kind, Dam Of European Stars Frankel And Noble Mission, Dies At Age 20

It is with regret that Juddmonte Farms announces the passing of Kind (Danehill – Rainbow Lake), the dam of Group 1 winners Frankel and Noble Mission, on March 8 due to complications after foaling a colt by Kingman on March 2.

Kind was a second-generation Juddmonte homebred. Her family came into the Juddmonte Stud Book through the mare Rockfest – who was purchased privately in 1983 as part of a bloodstock package from the John 'Jock' Hay Whitney dispersal.

When mated with Rainbow Quest, Rockfest produced the Lancashire Oaks winner Rainbow Lake who went on to compile an enviable record as a broodmare as the dam of three group/graded stakes winners: G1 winner Powerscourt, G2 winner Riposte and G3 winner Last Train. However, it was her dual listed-winning daughter Kind who was to have the biggest impact.

Kind's legacy is to have five stallion sons at stud and her daughter Joyeuse and granddaughters Jubiloso and Jovial are in the broodmare band. Her 3-year-old Galileo filly Chiasma is currently in training with John Gosden. Due to her rare achievement of producing two Group 1 winners and a further group winner in Bullet Train, Kind's name is on the International Federation of Horseracing Authorities' International List of Protected Names.

Juddmonte's UK stud director Simon Mockridge commented: “I cannot thank the Rossdales and Juddmonte team enough for the tireless care they have given Kind. To many, she will rightfully always be best remembered as the dam of Frankel and Noble Mission, to us at Juddmonte she will always be Kind by name and kind by nature.”

Forest Music, Dam Of Maclean’s Music, Dies At Age 20

Forest Music, a cornerstone of the Stonestreet Farm racing and breeding program, has died at age 20, the operation announced Friday on social media.

The Unbridled's Song mare was a vanguard for Stonestreet, as the first graded stakes winner for an operation that is now a regular producer of graded success on the racetrack and the breeding shed.

Forest Music initially raced for owner Michael Gill, who campaigned her to a victory in the Grade 3 Miss Preakness Stakes, a pair of non-graded stakes scores, and third-place efforts in the G1 Prioress Stakes and G1 Test Stakes.

She was purchased privately by Stonestreet in the summer of her 4-year-old season and placed in the barn of trainer Steve Asmussen. Her first start under her new ownership came in the G2 Honorable Miss Handicap at Saratoga, and her two-length victory marked the first graded stakes win for Stonestreet Stables as an owner.

Forest Music raced two more times for Stonestreet Stables before retiring with six wins in 18 starts for earnings of $370,566.

The mare's impact was just as immediate for the Stonestreet operation once she entered the breeding shed. Her first foal was the Distorted Humor colt Maclean's Music, whose lone start was such an eye-popping triumph, it earned him a spot in the stallion barn at Hill 'n' Dale Farms in Kentucky. Maclean's Music sired Preakness Stakes winner Cloud Computing from his first crop at stud.

Other runners of note produced by Forest Music include Grade 3 winners Kentuckian (by Tiznow), Electric Forest (by Curlin), and Uncle Chuck (by Uncle Mo).

After the early success of Maclean's Music, Forest Music's foals became sought after in the auction ring. Sonoma County (by Street Cry) brought $1.2 million as a yearling in the months following Maclean's Music's maiden score. In 2015, Senor Jobim, a full-brother to Maclean's Music, brought $1,525,000 at the Keeneland September Yearling Sale. Between those seven-figure horses, Kentuckian brought $610,000 as a yearling.

Forest Music had two surviving fillies. Electric Forest is currently a member of the Stonestreet broodmare band. Equineline reports show that Forest Music had her final foal, a filly by Bernardini, on Jan. 25 of this year.

It’s A Girl! Champion Beholder Delivers Bolt d’Oro Filly At Spendthrift Farm

Multiple Eclipse Award winner Beholder welcomed her fourth foal on Friday morning, when she delivered a filly by Bolt d'Oro at Spendthrift Farm, the operation announced on its social media channels.

The filly follows Beholder's other Spendthrift-homebred foals: Q B One, a 3-year-old Uncle Mo colt who is working toward his debut start; the 2-year-old Curlin filly Karin With an I; and the newly-turned yearling Teena Ella, a filly by War Front.

Bolt d'Oro stands at Spendthrift Farm in Lexington, Ky., for an advertised fee of $15,000. Beholder's filly hails from his second crop at stud.

The 6-year-old son of Medaglia d'Oro won four of eight starts and earned $1,016,000, highlighted by victories in the Grade 1 Del Mar Futurity, the G1 FrontRunner Stakes, and the G2 San Felipe Stakes. He also finished in the money in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile and the G1 Santa Anita Derby.

Beholder, an 11-year-old daughter of Henny Hughes, retired from racing in 2016 after an illustrious career that saw her win 18 of 26 starts with earnings of $6,156,600. She earned Eclipse Awards as the outstanding 2-year-old filly of 2012, 3-year-old filly of 2013, and older female of 2015 and 2016.

Among her 11 Grade 1 victories were three Breeders' Cup triumphs, including the 2012 Juvenile Fillies, and the Distaff in 2013 and 2016. Beholder also scored a memorable win in the 2015 G1 Pacific Classic, facing and defeating males in dominating fashion by 8 1/4-lengths at Del Mar.

Champion Zenyatta Loses 2021 Candy Ride Foal

Hall of Famer Zenyatta has lost her Candy Ride foal, which was due later this year, per the official Zenyatta website.

A statement on the site read as follows:

“We at Team Zenyatta and Lane's End Farm are deeply saddened to share that Zenyatta lost her 2021 foal early this year.

“She had been carrying a second Candy Ride filly, and we grieve the loss of this precious life. Thankfully, Zenyatta remains in excellent health and is doing very well.”

The loss continues what has been a rocky broodmare career for the 2010 Horse of the Year. She lost a six-month-old War Front filly in a paddock accident in the fall of 2014, while a colt by the same sire died a few days after his birth in 2016 due to complications from meconium aspiration syndrome, a respiratory issue. In 2018, Zenyatta lost an Into Mischief foal during pregnancy due to low-grade placentitis. She was not bred in 2015 and 2019.

The Candy Ride foal would have been Zenyatta's seventh, counting the two War Front foals who died before they were registered.

Her first foal, the 2012 Bernardini colt Cozmic One, went unplaced in five starts, and he is now in the midst of his second career as a show jumper in Kentucky. He competed in the 2018 Thoroughbred Makeover with rider Isabela de Sousa.

Ziconic, by Tapit, was born a year later and hit the board in eight of 12 starts from 2016 to 2018, but never found the winner's circle. He has also transitioned into a show jumping career in California.

The Medaglia d'Oro filly Zellda, born in 2017, is unraced to date. Zenyatta's latest foal, the Candy Ride filly Zilkha, was born last year, and is a yearling of 2021.

Zenyatta has spent the entirety of her broodmare career at Lane's End in Versailles, Ky.
