The outstanding producer and stakes performer,
Battle Creek Girl, has died at the age of 27. She had been pensioned
since last year when she produced a filly by Dixie Union.

A daughter of leading sire, His Majesty, Battle Creek Girl was
a three parts sister to the dam of champion turf mare, Soaring Softly.
She ran at 2 and three, her best performance coming in a third

and six stakes winners. Her daughter Wavering Girl was named champion
two year old filly in Canada. She in turn produced grade one winner

Battle Creek Girl produced two graded stakes to Kingmambo in Parade
Ground and Parade Leader. Parade Ground won over three quarters
of a million dollars and four graded stakes races. He was also grade
one placed. Parade Leader was a brilliant winner of the New Orleans
Handicap over the high class Graeme Hall. He now stands at Lammerskraal.
