Al Khali (Medaglia d'Oro–Maya, by Capote) succumbed to a bout of colic this past Saturday, Rockridge Stud announced in a release Tuesday evening.
The millionaire multiple graded stakes winner had been standing at Rockridge Stud in Hudson, New York, for the past three seasons.
The $15,000 KEESEP yearling carried the colors of owners Brous Stable and Wachtel Stable and was trained by Hall of Famer Bill Mott. Al Khali retired to Keane Stud in 2016 with a record of 41-8-5-5 and earnings of $1,019,510.
Owner Adam Wachtel said, “We are very sad to lose this well-loved horse. 'Big Al' was a barn favorite at the track.”
Al Khali sired 10 winners from only 19 starters in five crops of racing age.
