Trainer Ronald McAnally suffered a loss last week when 13-year-old mare Bayakoa, a two-time Eclipse Award winner, died of foaling complications in Kentucky. The results from the trial showed that foaling followed a similar pattern to human birth; however the signal characteristics allowed a very accurate prediction of the onset of labor in the mare from two days out. Bayakoa, two-time Breeders' Cup Distaff champion, died last week of foaling complications at age 13 in Lexington, Ky. |
