Economics, a European Group 1 winner, has died in India, according to published reports.

The G1 Irish Champion Stakes-winning son of Night Of Thunder was standing his first season at Poonawalla Stud.

Bred by Copgrove Hall Stud and a dual graduate of the Tattersalls sales, the blaze-faced chestnut won four of his seven starts for trainer William Haggas and regular rider Tom Marquand. Raced by Isa Salman Al Khalifa, he also landed the G2 Dante Stakes and G2 Prix Guillaume d'Ornano during his seven-race career.

Out of dual G2 Prix de Pomone heroine La Pomme d'Amour (Peintre Celebre), Economics is also from the family of stakes winner Van Gosh (Peintre Celebre).
