Ridgewood Pearl dies

Ridgewood Pearl, one of the very best milers of the 1990s, has died.

The 11-year-old, winner of the Irish 1000 Guineas, Coronation Stakes, Prix du Moulin and Breeders’ Cup Mile, was taken ill at home last week, haemorrhaging after producing a dead foal by Bahri, the horse who beat her in the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes.
