Gainesway Farm stallion Mr. Greeley was euthanized early today. The 18-year-old son of Gone West was diagnosed with laminitis several weeks ago. His condition recently deteriorated.
“All of us at Gainesway are saddened at the loss of a great
stallion,” said Antony Beck, president of Gainesway near Lexington. “He
was not only a great stallion, but a great horse.”
Racing for William J. Condren and Joseph Cornacchia, Mr. Greeley was a
multiple winner at 2, but showed extraordinary consistency at 3,
winning the Lafayette Stakes (gr. III), the Swale Stakes (gr. III), and
the Spectacular Bid Breeders’ Cup Stakes (gr. III) and placing in four
graded events, including the Breeders’ Cup Sprint (gr. I). He retired at
the end of his 3-year-old campaign with a record of five wins and six
seconds from 16 starts and earnings of $474,452. He was trained by Nick
Zito.
