German highweight sophomore colt Karpino (Ger) (Cape Cross {Ire}–Kahara {GB}, by Sadler's Wells), died at Glenview Stud in Ireland at the end of March, Rathbarry and Glenview Studs announced via Twitter on Sunday morning. The 6-year-old was highweight in Germany at three and succumbed to an aggressive malignant tumour, after covering a few mares in his first season at stud. The Qatar Racing colourbearer was bred by Gestut Fahrhof in Germany out of the SP Kahara, a full-sister to English/Irish highweight and G1 St. Leger victor Milan (GB). A winner of three of his four starts for trainer Andreas Wohler, among them the G3 Rennen Dr. Busch Memorial and the G2 Mehl-Mulhens-Rennan (German 2000 Guineas), Karpino stood for a private fee.
