Breeders Cup Winner, Dance Smartly, Dies at 19
Posted on Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007
MILTON, Ontario (AP) – Dance Smartly, who in 1991 became the first Canadian-bred horse to win a Breeders’ Cup race, died after an injury in her paddock. She was 19.
The horse was euthanized last weekend because of an irreparable injury related to an arthritic joint in her knee, according to Sam-Son Farm, where the horse was bred.
“Dance Smartly was a once-in-a-lifetime horse,” Sam-Son Farm president Tammy Samuel-Balaz said in a statement. “She was magic and gave us incredible thrills as both a racehorse and a broodmare.”
Dance Smartly won the Breeders’ Cup Distaff in 1991 and that year went undefeated. She captured the Eclipse Award as North America’s top 3-year-old and won the Canadian Triple Crown – the Queen’s Plate, the Prince of Wales Stakes and Breeders’ Stakes.
A granddaughter of the great Northern Dancer, Dance Smartly was inducted into the Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame in 1995.
