Windfields Farm is deeply saddened to announce that leading 2006 freshman sire Cat’s At Home died suddenly on March 24 at the Oshawa farm.
Bred and raced by E.P. Evans, the 10-year-old son of Tabasco Cat out of Mr. Evans’ outstanding producer Homewrecker, by Buckaroo, was owned by a partnership between Evans and Windfields. A multiple graded stakes winner of $708,575, he retired sound after 31 starts, including stakes victories over Grade 1 SWs Milwaukee Brew and Include.
“We are all devastated over this†said Director of Farm Operations Simon Cassidy. “He was a strikingly handsome individual, and a true favorite among those who cared for him as well as farm visitors. His first crop came out running and we are hearing great reports from trainers about their Cat’s At Home horses getting ready to run when Woodbine opens next weekâ€.
“Words cannot convey our sense of lossâ€, noted Windfields Vice-President Noreen Taylor. “Cat’s at Home was a great young sire with his whole career ahead of him. He is not the kind of horse you can easily replace, and he was just poised to become a key player in the Ontario sire ranks. We sincerely thank those who have supported him in recent years.â€
Cat’s At Home will be buried at Windfields Farm.
