GSW/MGISP Breaking Lucky (Lookin At Lucky) was euthanized Saturday, Aug. 3 due to complications from colic at the age of 12 according to a release by Blue Star Racing who stood the stallion in Louisiana. Through a five-year stallion career in both Florida and Louisiana, he was the leading second crop sire by winners in Louisiana and the southwest region.

“Our entire family is heartbroken,” said Blue Star Racing's Dex Comardelle. “Lucky was such a loved member of our family and local community. We are still trying to process that he is gone. I want to wish a heartfelt thank you to all the breeders, trainers, and owners who have supported him in Florida and in Louisiana during these last five years. We are also very thankful to the vets and surgeons who tried everything they could to save him.”

Breaking Lucky, who raced for the partnerships of West Point Thoroughbreds, Reeves Thoroughbred Racing, Eric Young, and R.A. Hill Stable, was the 2015 Prince of Wales Stakes winner and took the GIII Seagram Cup Stakes a 4-year-old while also placing in the GI Clark Handicap, the GI Whitney Stakes and the GI Stephen Foster Handicap.
