War Chant, the Western Australian-based sire of 46 stakes winners, including Group 1 winning mare Silent Sedition, has died aged 27.
A winner of the Breeders’ Cup Mile for trainer Neil Drysdale in 2000, War Chant, a son of Danzig, began his breeding career at Three Chimneys Farm in Kentucky.
Ron Sayers brought him to stand at Yarradale Stud in 2011 at Gidgegannup, and he was permanently based at the Western Australian farm from 2014.
He produced three stakes winners from his first WA crop, including Silent Sedition, who would win six stakes races, including the 2017 William Reid Stakes for trainer Andrew Noblet.
