Lawyer Ron Euthanized

Lawyer Ron,  the 2007 champion older male, was euthanized July 10 at Stonewall Farm Stallions  near Versailles, Ky., due to complications from a recent colic surgery.

A 6-year-old son of Langfuhr, Lawyer Ron was standing his second season at stud at Audrey Haisfield's Stonewall Farm Stallions, and his first crop of foals arrived this year.

“Not only was he a superior racehorse but his physical presence and contagious personality captivated everyone that saw him,” said Clark Shepherd, manager of Stonewall Farm Stallions. “His first foals are tremendous. When breeders call in to report their Lawyer Ron foals being born, they all have a story to tell. This is obviously a huge loss for us, as well as for the racing and breeding community.”

Lawyer Ron stood at Stonewall for a 2009 fee of $25,000.

What the Nation is saying about Lawyer Ron Euthanized...

I would just like to continue on from my comments made on 7-11 by expressing condolences to the owners and those involved with Lawyer Ron. He was a great horse and champion. My earlier comments on this subject were made in haste, as from being upset about having just learned of PON's being retired due to injury. My apologies, as I'm certain that Lawyer Ron's connections didn't wish for his colic complications to lead to his euthanization. Very sorry for the loss.
Have to admit... Lawyer Ron was a favorite horse of mine... he had class, speed and fight to him...
For the love of God have these trainers got these colts on a manditory injury or euthanization program this year. I'm a huge fan of thoroughbred racing and bet on races from time to time but lately it seems like no matter what link I click on about horseracing, the news is always gloom and doom. I mean,Terrain, Pioneer of the Nile, and now Lawyer Ron. When's it going to end?
