Vronsky
Veteran California stallion Vronsky died of an apparent heart attack after successfully covering a mare on April 29 at Harris Farms in Coalinga, Calif., according to Jonny Hilvers, general manager at Harris Farms.
“For a 22-year-old he looked amazing and could not have been doing any better,” Hilvers said. “He has been such a nice horse to be around all these years and he will be sorely missed.”
The son of Danzig was bred by Arthur B. Hancock III and Stonerside Ltd., and he sold for $1 million at the 2000 Keeneland September Yearling Sale.
