Regally-bred multiple graded stakes-producing mare She’s a Winner, the dam of 2006 Grade 1 Haskell Invitational Stakes winner and stallion Bluegrass Cat, was euthanized on Saturday, Nov. 27 after suffering from colic, WinStar Farm reported today. She was 25 years old.
Bred by Ogden Phipps, the 1996 daughter of A.P. Indy out of the graded stakes-winning and graded stakes-producing Mr. Prospector mare Get Lucky descends from one of the strongest families in the stud book. She is a full-sister to Supercharger, dam of 2010 Kentucky Derby winner Super Saver, as well as a full-sister to Grade 1 winner Girolamo and multiple graded stakes winner Daydreaming, the dam of Grade 1 winner Imagining.
Her second dam is Grade 1 winner Dance Number, a half-sister to Private Account, and Polish Numbers, and the dam of Rhythm, and this is also the family of the brilliant stakes winner and producer Numbered Account, who traces to the immortal and highly influential La Troienne.
“It’s with great sadness that we share the news of She’s a Winner who suffered a severe bout of colic Saturday morning,” said Elliott Walden, WinStar’s president, CEO, and racing manager. “Despite our best efforts to save her, the decision was made to humanely euthanize her. She meant the world to all of us here at WinStar. This family has been very good to us. She will be greatly missed.”
In addition to Bluegrass Cat, a WinStar Farm homebred who banked $1,761,280 in a stellar racing career, She’s a Winner is also the dam of Dramedy, winner of the 2015 Grade 2 Elkhorn Stakes at Keeneland; multiple graded stakes winner Lord of the Game; graded stakes-placed Cal Nation; and stakes winner Sonoma Cat.
