this year made him the top active sire in Canada, reportedly died on a farm in southern
Ontario.

stallion “reportedly died in a paddock accident at T.C. Westmeath Stud Farm,” the
farm where he stood about 60 miles northwest of Toronto. There were no other
details about the mishap.

out of Gone West broodmare Speed Succeeds. Six-year-old mare Il Malocchio, who won the 2022 Maple
Leaf (G3) and the 2023 Trillium (G3), was at the top of his list of progeny,
earning $590,870. Souper Supreme, Junior Hot Shot, Pleasure’s Gold and Miss
Speedy have been his stakes winners in 2024.
