Chester Broman's 9-year-old Antespend was euthanized in April at the owner's Chestertown Farm near Chestertown, N.Y., because of complications while foaling a Seeking the Gold filly.

Antespend (Spend a Buck--Auspiciante, by Practicante) was a three-time grade I winner for her breeder, Elmendorf Farm owner Jack Kent Cooke, taking the 1996 Del Mar Invitational Oaks (gr. IT), Santa Anita Oaks (gr. I), and Las Virgenes Stakes (gr. I). Following Cooke's death in 1997, Chestertown bought Antespend from Cooke's estate for $900,000 at Keeneland that April. Antespend raced six times for Broman, winning an allowance race and placing in three graded stakes. She was retired with 10 wins from 24 starts and earnings of $1,011,954.

Antespend produced four foals. She is the dam of 3-year-old Rainmaker (a colt by Storm Cat), I Love New York (a filly by Deputy Minister), an unnamed A.P. Indy colt, plus her Seeking the Gold filly.
