SPECIAL Forli |
Special, who produced three
stakes winners, including champion sire Nureyev, was euthanized due to
infirmities of old age on December 28 at Claiborne Farm near Paris, Kentucky.
She was 30. Her influence was significant as a broodmare and producer of
broodmares, but she is best known as the dam of Nureyev, who raced just three
times, but won twice and was champion miler of 1980 in France. Now standing at
Walmac International, Nureyev has topped the French sire list twice and has
ranked among the leaders on general sires lists in England and the United
States. Special also produced stakes winners Number and Bound, who have both
gone on to produce stakes winners themselves. The best broodmare Special
produced, however, was Fairy Bridge. Highweighted filly at two on the Irish
Free Handicap in 1977 despite not starting in stakes company, Fairy Bridge was
retired after her two-year-old season and produced classic winner and champion
sire Sadler’s Wells and three other stakes winners. Another son, Fairy King,
was unplaced in one start but developed into France’s leading sire in 1996 and
also ranked among the leading sires in Ireland and England.—John Harrell
