NY Sire Majestic City Succumbs to Laminitis

Irish Hill & Dutchess Views Stallions LLC's Majestic City (City Zip) was euthanized Tuesday, Nov. 8, due to the complications of laminitis. The 13-year-old is the sire of four small crops of racing age, which include 34 individual winners and Belmont's 2021 Iroquois S. winner The Important One.

“Majestic City will be sorely missed by myself and the entire team,” said Irish Hill & Dutchess Views manager Bill Leak. “He was a horse you could measure others against and only hope they can come close to his quality.”

Majestic City's wins during his five-year racing career included the GIII Lone Star Park H. and the GIII Hollywood Juvenile Championship S. He also placed in five additional graded races, including the GI Dixiana Breeders' Futurity and the GI Del Mar Futurity.
