M G Warrior Retired To Charter Oak Farm In Arkansas

M G Warrior, a five-time winner and earner of nearly $300,000, has been retired from racing to stand his first season at stud at Charter Oak Farm LLC in Hot Springs, Arkansas. He will stand as property of Chrysalis Stables LLC for an introductory fee of $750 for the 2021 breeding season.  

Trained by Eclipse Award winner Brad Cox, M G Warrior compiled a record of 17-5-5-0 with earnings of $298,226.

The son of Grade 1 winner Majestic Warrior broke his maiden going 1 1/16 miles at Fair Grounds and then recorded four wins against allowance and allowance/optional claiming company at Churchill Downs and Oaklawn at distances from six furlongs to 1 1/16 miles.  

“M G Warrior was a very nice horse to train and be around. He was a solid runner and would be a nice fit in the Arkansas breeding program,” said Cox about his former trainee.

Silverfoot Euthanized at 20

Silverfoot (With Approval–Northern Silver, by Silver Ghost), the aptly named gelding who became a fan favorite in turf marathons, was euthanized Tuesday morning at Rood and Riddle Equine Hospital due to complications of aging and the debilitating hoof disease laminitis. He was 20 and had been spending the past decade in retirement, most recently at Ballyrankin Stud in Lexington, Kentucky.

Bred by owner Stephanie Clark and campaigned in the name of her Chrysalis Stables, the five-time graded winner won 11 of 40 starts with trainer Dallas Stewart, earning $949,503 before his 2010 retirement.

“Silverfoot was a true champion,” Clark said. “I owe him so much. He gave me so many heartfelt moments.”

“Very sad to hear,” Stewart said of Silverfoot’s passing. “He was and is truly one of my favorites.”
