My Turbulent Miss, dam of Prized and Exploit, Dies at Age 29

My Turbulent Miss died May 13 at Our Mims Retirement Haven. Farm owner Jeanne Mirabito said she found the mare in one of the farm's paddocks. The mare was 29 and will be buried at the farm.

"Our girl died peacefully in her sleep lying in her favorite napping place," Mirabito said in a release. "We'll miss her terribly but we are proud to have known her. She will be laid to rest next to her best friend, Taba."

Unraced My Turbulent Miss, by My Dad George out of Turbulent Miss, by Petare, produced 15 foals, of which 14 raced. Thirteen were winners, including grade I stakes winner and sire Prized (by Kris S.) and grade II stakes winner and sire Exploit (by Storm Cat).

My Turbulent Miss was donated to the retirement farm by Olin Gentry in November 2004. She came to the farm along with four other mares from the farm of Gentry and John Gaines.
