Grade 1 winner Honour And Glory dies in Uruguay aged 25

Grade 1 winner and international sire Honour And Glory has died at Haras Rapetti, near Canelones, Uruguay, at the age of 25.

The son of Relaunch was the only stakes winner produced by the Al Nasr mare Fair to All, a half-sister to Grade 1 winner and sire Ogygian. Bred by Overbrook Farm, Honour And Glory was purchased by Coolmore bloodstock agent Demi O'Byrne for $410,000 at the 1995 Barretts March Two-Year-Olds in Training Sale out of the Jerry Bailey Sales consignment.

Honour And Glory went on to win five Graded stakes and place two other Grade 1s - second in the Santa Anita Derby and Vosburgh Stakes. He earned his Grade 1 victory in the Metropolitan Handicap.

Retired to Ashford Stud in 1997 for an initial fee of $20,000, Honour And Glory produced a first crop that included Caressing, who won the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies on the way to earning Eclipse Award champion two-year-old filly honors; Japanese Grade 1 winner Name Value; and Grade 2 winner and sire Put It Back.

Honour And Glory was shuttled to both Australia and Argentina for 12 seasons, and spent his last five years at stud in Uruguay. To date he has sired 71 black-type winners on dirt and turf and 80 black-type placers. His top runners include 29 Graded/Group winners and five champions. His progeny have earned more than $68.6 million worldwide (through July 16).
