Coolmore have announced the death of sire Calyx due to complications following a foot injury.<\/p>\n
The son of Kingman won three of his four starts including the Group 2 Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot in 2018, and had himself developed into a promising sire in recent years.<\/p>\n
His most high-profile progeny include the likes of French-based filly Classic Flower, the Paddy Twomey-trained Puple Lily and the Amo Racing-owned Persian Dreamer, winner of the Group 2 Duchess Of Cambridge at Newmarket in 2023.<\/p>\n
A statement from Coolmore read: “It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Calyx yesterday afternoon. Calyx suffered an acute foot injury mid-season; however, despite intensive treatments, it has been necessary to euthanise him on humane grounds.”<\/p>\n
“It is very unfortunate to lose such a promising young sire,\u201d added Castlehyde\u2019s Cathal Murphy on the Coolmore website.<\/p>\n
“He was very strongly supported by breeders last year and looked to have an extremely bright future ahead of him.”<\/p>\n
