Dual grade 1 stakes
winner Bowies Hero was euthanized earlier this week after developing
catastrophic foot complications, co-owner Sol Kumin said.
Daily Racing Form
first reported the horse’s death from complications of laminitis.
A turf specialist,
Bowie’s Hero won eight of 28 races and nearly $1.6 million.
His seven post-maiden
victories came in stakes, highlighted by the 2019 Shadwell Turf Mile Stakes
(G1T) at Keeneland and the 2018 Frank E. Kilroe Mile Stakes (G1T) at Santa
Anita.
Bred in Kentucky by
Pope McLean, Pope McLean Jr., and Marc McLean, Bowies Hero, a son of Artie
Schiller, is one of three winners for the Sky Mesa mare Remembered.
