  • Racing To Win Passes Away

    Monday, 6th September 2021

    One of Australia's leading racehorses of the past two decades, Racing to Win (Encosta de Lago-Surrealist, by Kenny's Best Pal), has been euthanized. The gallant grey was a much-loved performer and won high-level races such as the Gr1 Epsom Handicap, Gr1 Doncaster Handicap, Gr1 All Aged Stakes, Gr1 George Main Stakes and Gr1 George Ryder Stakes. Among his 13 wins out of 30 starts were also the Group 2 events – Theo Marks Stakes (twice), Warwick Stakes, Apollo Stakes and Hobartville Stakes. During a stellar career when he was prepared by John O'Shea, Racing to Win amassed $3.7 million in prizes for his adoring owners Penny Stuckey and the late Trevor Stuckey. "Unfortunately, we had to put the old companion to sleep this morning," Penny Stuckey told racingnsw.com.au. "He had developed a disease and was no longer able to feed, so the vet checked him and said the time had come. We had visited him many times, but unfortunately due to COVID, we couldn't get there to say goodbye. He was a lovely horse and will be missed by many."
