A huge blow to the Thoroughbred industry: noted European stallions Robellino and Rainbow Quest died. Read more here: http://breeding.bloodhorse.com/viewstory.asp?id=39695
While both were getting on in age, they still had huge effects on the breeding industry as a whole. RQ was a top SW in Europe and one of Blushing Groom's best sons. He revitalized the Nasrullah sire line and created an outcross to Northern Dancer and Mr. Prospector sire lines. He has become an especially prominent broodmare sire of late....R.I.P.

Robellino was a top son of Epsom Derby winner Roberto (of the Hail to Reason line); his progeny included 2000 Guineas winner Mister Baileys. R.I.P. also.
