A Tribute to La Verdad

The horse racing industry learned the tragic passing of Eclipse Champion La Verdad's passing on May 10th. We pay tribute to her memory and look forward to cheering on her foals someday soon.

La Verdad (Yes It's True), the 2015 Champion Female Sprinter, has been euthanized due to complications from colic, according to a statement issued by her owner, Sheila Rosenblum. The 10-year-old mare had recently foaled a colt by Into Mischief at Vivien Malloy's Edition Farm in Hyde Park, New York.

Rosenblum posted a statement on Facebook, which read, “It is with a heavy heart that Lady Sheila Stable must announce the passing of La Verdad. The Eclipse Award-winning champion gave birth to a healthy colt by Into Mischief on Monday, May 4th. After a few days of medical attention, she was humanely relieved of her distress this afternoon. She passed from complications due to colic.”
