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.
