Sire of Melbourne Cup Hero Half Yours

St Jean (Ire) (Teofilo {Ire}), sire of G1 Caulfield Cup and G1 Melbourne Cup winner Half Yours, died in a paddock accident at Brackley Park on Nov. 25. Stud manager Grant Dwyer said the 15-year-old had covered the mare Memory Lane on Nov. 24 and was returned to his usual paddock. "For reasons unknown, St Jean ran into a fence post overnight, breaking it off at ground level and shattering his near-side front leg," Dwyer said. "His death was very untimely, just as breeders were beginning to appreciate his pedigree."...
