Millionaire, multiple Graded stakes winner Field Commission died suddenly this morning in his paddock at Solera Farm, near Williston, Fla., from what appeared to be a heart attack.

Bred by Minshall Farms in Ontario, owned and raced by Edward Seltzer, the son of Service Stripe (Deputy Minister) won or placed in 10 of 19 stakes starts (eight graded) earning $1,030,266 from three to seven. Field Commission was named Canada s champion sprinter as a 4-year-old, after a campaign in which he won Woodbine s Grade 2 Nearctic Stakes and G3 Vigil Stakes, and placed in four other graded races.
