Hawke s Bay-owned Popsy, one of only six fillies to have won the Group 1 New Zealand Derby in the last 60 years, finally succumbed to old age last week and had to be euthanised at age 30.
The Sir Tristram mare had been residing at Hawke s Bay s Montana Lodge Stud for the past six years, on the property owned by Graham and Isabell Roddick.
