Taba,
Argentina's 1975 champion
2-year-old filly and dam of
Turkoman, has died at Our Mims
Retirement Haven. She was
32.
The
farm's owner, Jeanne Mirabito,
discovered her in one of the
paddocks Friday
afternoon.
Taba
was the dam of 1986 Champion
Older Male Turkoman and the
great grand dam of 2001 Horse
of the Year Point
Given.
The
daughter of Table Play and
full sister to Argentine
Triple Crown winner
Telescopio, Taba won the Polla
de Potrancas (Arg-I), the
Argentine One Thousand
Guineas, in 1976.
The
mare was donated from Olin
Gentry's farm in
November.
"Even
though Taba was well advanced
in years, this is
devastating," said Mirabito.
"We had become so fond of this
wonderful mare. She was only
with us a short time but she
had already become one of the
family."
Taba
was buried at Our Mims
Retirement Haven.
