OBITUARY-PLACERVILLE A GREAT STALLION

Monday, February 21, 2011

1. Indian Racing and breeding has suffered an irreparable loss by the quick succession death of the undoubtedly the two top sires RAZEEN & PLACERVILLE within a short span of about a fortnight. The last fifteen years or so saw a very healthy rivalry between the produce of the two very best sires of our country and there was never a time when one could say with conviction that either of the two was better on any particular count. RAZEEN was champion sire seven times and PLACERVILLE has the privilege of being the champion nine times. RAZEEN is now going to be remembered as a top broodmare sire a count where Placerville is not far behind.

2. PLACERVILLE , a grade 2 winner in England burst on Indian Racing Scene in 1997 with a string of successful maiden winners in Western India who immediately caught the attention of all and sundry related with the sport. Many of these went on to win great laurels and from such a start there was no looking back for this Champion Sire whose crop dominated the turfs across the country till date.

3. A very versatile sire whose off springs came to hand early and easily progressed as they matured. The sire produced runners for all distances. SOUTHERN EMPIRE was perhaps his best performed son. The list of great horses he produced is many but some like HAUNTING MEMORIES, PALAZZIO, SIX SPEED, PRICELESS & SPECTACULAR QUEST all come to mind easily and one can recall their days of glory on the Indian Turf.
