Winning Colors, the 1988 Kentucky Derby winner has died at 23, according to Gainesway thoroughbred farm in Lexington, Ky.

Gainesway VP Charlie Aker says Winning Colors was euthanized Sunday after a bout with colic and buried at Greentree Farm, which is now part of Gainesway.

Winning Colors is one of only three fillies to win the Derby. The others are Regret in 1915 and Genuine Risk in 1980.

As a 3-year-old, Winning Colors won in wire-to-wire fashion under Gary Stevens, defeating Forty Niner. She also won the Grade I Santa Anita Derby and Santa Anita Oaks that year and finished with eight wins, three seconds and a third. Her earnings totaled more than $1.5 million.

Bobby Hurley’s Go Go Shoot, trained by Jim Ryerson, was 3-2 favorite in $75,000 Fred “Cappy” Capossela Stakes, at six furlongs for 3-year-olds, to repeat his gate-to-wire romp in Jan. 21 Jimmy Winkfield. The gray gelding shot to fore again under C.C. Lopez, set pace chased by 5-2 Accredit, Mike Luzzi up, held him safe to wire by neck. Laysh Laysh Laysh, 4-1 looking for third straight off-pace win over inner track, was last early in field of five while in-hand under Mario Pino, rallied inside around turn, continued to close resolutely along rail. Rather than tipping outside for stretch run, Laysh Laysh Laysh stayed on fence, had nowhere to go deep stretch, and Pino had to reign him in through final yards.

NY-based sprinters finished 1-2-3 in yesterday’s Grade 2, $300,000 Gen. George Handicap at Laurel. Bruce Levine’s NY-bred Bustin Stones, Ramon Dominguez up, ran unbeaten streak to five, holding off Lord Snowdon by head, with Premium Wine third after very rough trip in stretch.

THIRD RACE: Field of four NY-breds showed up for $65,000 Master Digby overnight stakes. Naughty New Yorker, even-money choice making first start of year for Pat Kelly, stalked pace set by 7-5 R Clear Victory, bid outside around far turn under Jean-Luc Samny, then drew off down stretch like Funny Cide in Preakness.

FOURTH RACE: Sunday Sarah, sixth at 56-1 in Dec. 30 debut going six furlongs, got blinkers on, stretched out to mile and improved big time for Keith O’Brien at 14-1. She gunned to front down backside under Taylor Hole, opened daylight into far turn, turned back several challenges turning for home, opened up again, could not withstand late charge of 2-1 Golden Horseshoe, but easily held second.
