Goodbye to NRHA $6 Million Sire Topsail Whiz
Topsail Whiz, a 1987 stallion who sired earners of more than $6.8 million, died Wednesday, Dec. 23. The stallion had undergone surgery for a problem with a vertebrae that was pinching his spinal cord and affecting his balance, and although the surgery was successful, Topsail Whiz collapsed two days later and could not get back on his feet. Owner Bob Loomis, Marietta, Okla., made the difficult decision to humanely put him down.
“It’s been a really sad day,” Loomis said. “I’ve been blessed so many ways for so long. He was more of a family member than a horse.”
The loss came just two weeks after Loomis’ junior sire, West Coast Whiz (Topsail Whiz x My Moon Stone Chex x King Fritz), had to be euthanized due to complications of founder and white line disease.
