Gulch dies at age 32

Last updated: 1/22/16 9:41 AM

Gulch, the oldest living Breeders' Cup champion, was euthanized Sunday morning

due to complications from cancer. The 1988 Breeders' Cup Sprint (G1)

champion and Eclipse Award winner was pensioned to Old Friends Farm in

Georgetown, Kentucky, in 2009.

Mo Tom and Tom's Ready, the respective one-two in Saturday's Lecomte S. (G3) at

Fair Grounds, exited that race in good order and are expected to rematch in the

Risen Star S. (G2) on February 20 back at the New Orleans oval.

Nyquist, honored as champion two-year-old male of 2015 at Saturday evening's

Eclipse Award ceremony, worked five furlongs in 1:00.80 at Santa Anita Park on

Sunday morning. Also readying for his sophomore bow at Santa Anita was Los

Alamitos Futurity (G1) victor Mor Spirit, who clocked the same distance in 1:01.

At Aqueduct on Sunday, an interestingly marked filly named

Constellation romped by 10 lengths in the Ruthless S. under Irad Ortiz Jr.

Monday is Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and both Aqueduct and Santa Anita Park

have carded graded races to commemorate the day.

Aqueduct hosts the Toboggan S. (G3) while Santa Anita Park puts on its newly

upgraded Megahertz S. (G3).
