Aiken, SC (My Sportsbook) - Summer Squall, 1990 Preakness Stakes winner, was euthanized Tuesday at Lane's Farm near Versailles, KY. In a press release from former owner Dogwood Stable, the 22-year-old thoroughbred was humanely put down because of complications of old age and foundering.

"Summer Squall was a vital part of Dogwood's success, and we had the deepest conceivable affection for him, and all he did for us," Dogwood Stable said in the release. "He sired a Horse of the Year (1999) in Charismatic, and a Champion (1996 two-year-old filly) in Storm Song, campaigned by Dogwood. We bought many other sons and daughters, and they all had the grit and quality of the sire. The horse became infertile a few years back, and much to the credit of Lane's End and a great compliment to the horse, the farm wished to keep him at their facilities in Midway, KY rather than pension him out at some lesser place."

Bred by William S Farish and W.S. Kilroy, Summer Squall was bought as a yearling by Dogwood for $300,000 and was undefeated as a two-year-old. He finished second to Unbridled in the 1990 Kentucky Derby and reversedthe order two weeks later when he won the Preakness. Summer Squall defeated Unbridled four times in six meetings.

Also in 1990 Summer Squall, trained by Neil Howard and ridden by Pat Day, won the Jim Bean, Blue Grass Stakes and Pennsylvania Derby. He finished his racing career with 13 wins from 20 starts and $1,844,282.

After a successful career as a stallion, Summer Squall was pensioned from stud duty by Lane's End Farm in 2004 due to continuing problems with fertility.
