Fusaichi Pegasus, the 2000 Kentucky Derby winner who became the most expensive racehorse ever sold, died Tuesday at a Kentucky horse farm. Coolmore Stud, owner of the 26-year-old horse, said he was euthanized because of “the infirmities of old age.”
With an initial stud fee of $150,000, Fusaichi Pegasus sired several winners as he was shuttled among the United States, Australia and South America before his retirement in Kentucky. He was grandsire to Ruler on Ice, who won the 2011 Belmont.. “Five of us were there when he foaled.
He started looking at each one of us, like a dog would study you. He kind of turned his head as he looked at each of us. He was smart. Then he got up and I saw him the next morning and we turned him out. I said, ‘He looks like a little Superman.’ So I nicknamed him Superman. And he just kept on being grand-looking.”
