missed the 2005 death of racehorse Stop the Music, who, like Lyphard, spent his stud career at Gainesway Farm and lived to a very old age. He was 35 when he was euthanized.
This horse is probably best known for having handed Secretariat the second loss of his career. In the 1972 Champagne Stakes, Secretariat won the race, but he was disqualified for bearing in on Stop the Music, and so he was placed second.
For some reason many Gainesway/Greentree stallions live a very long time. Arts and Letters, 1969 Horse of the Year and Belmont Stakes winner, lived to be 32. Stage Door Johnny, winner of the 1968 Belmont, lived to be 31.
