Elusive Quality Euthanized

Tara Madgwick - Thursday March 15
Former Darley shuttler Elusive Quality (USA) was pensioned from stud duties in June 2017 and euthanized on Wednesday due to the infirmities of old age.

Elusive Quality - Darley"Elusive Quality represented so many things to so many people," said Dan Pride, COO of Godolphin America.

"He was one of Sheikh Mohammed's early racing successes here in the U.S. and he then was the second stallion to stand for him in America, with Quiet American being the first. His son Smarty Jones won the Derby and captured the hearts of a nation. And to the team here at Jonabell, he was just a pleasure to be around and he's going to be greatly missed."

A world record holder for a mile on turf, Elusive Quality was a son of Gone West and turned 25 earlier this year.

He shuttled to Australia for six seasons with his best locally bred offspring headed by Golden Slipper winner and sire Sepoy and brilliant Group I winner Camarilla, the dam of four-time Group I winner Guelph.
