April 13 - Saint Liam

Maybe the most star-crossed horse ever. he won the Breeders' Cup Classic at Belmont Park sealing his claim as the Horse of the Year. He went to stud at Lane's End and had one crop of foals before his foolish habit of rearing up, led to a fatal accident. In that one foal crop, he produced a Horse of the Year of his own in the filly / mare Havre de Grace. Saint Liam was going to be the horse that continued his sire, Saint Ballado's lineage.

Saint Liam was raced by a true gentleman in William Warren. He named him Saint Liam in honor of his father. The family built the Saint Francis Hospital in Tulsa, OK.

(Almost 15 years later, Mr. Warren would have another great runner in City of Light who was both a Breeders' Cup and Pegasus winner. This year's Kentucky Derby will feature a City of Light colt named Fierceness. You've been told - keep an eye on this horse.)
