Equine obituary:  2007 Belmont Stakes winner Rags to Riches, 21, has died due to infirmities of old age although she really wasn't that old.

I remember watching that race in a Las Vegas motel room when my family and I went to the desert southwest.  It was quite exciting for the daughter of A.P. Indy to win this race.  She was the first filly in 102 years to win this classic race.

Snip:

Throughout her career, Pletcher said she was very uncomplicated and professional in training, but in the barn, the grooms needed to be on their toes.

"In the barn, she had a totally different personality. She was very territorial and very aggressive," he said. "She was not a sweet filly to be around. Ultra competitive."

Rags to Riches developed a hairline fracture in her right pastern after a runner-up finish in the 2007 Gazelle Stakes (G1). The hope had been to keep her in training for 2008, but she re-injured her pastern in the spring and had to be retired.
