Gone West, who carved out a successful branch of the Mr. Prospector sire line all
his own as the sire of 98 stakes winners, was euthanized the night of
Sept. 7 because of complications following colic surgery. The
25-year-old stallion, who was pensioned after this year’s breeding
season because of declining fertility, had been taken two days earlier
to Hagyard Equine Medical Institute near Lexington.
