Short-lived sire War Pass is gone but not forgotten
Over the past decade, the Thoroughbred world has seen a number of successful sires die young. As detailed in the Feb. 9 issue of DRF Breeding, short-lived sires such as Saint Liam, Chester House, Lawyer Ron, and Dubai Millennium have made substantial contributions to the breed despite serving three seasons or less at stud. If the victory by Java’s War in the Grade 1 Blue Grass Stakes at Keeneland on April 13 is any indication, we can add the name of his sire, War Pass, to that list of important, short-lived sires.
