Multiple Grade I winner and influential broodmare Tranquility Lake (Rahy–Winters' Love, by Danzig) has died at age 21. An earner of $1.6 million on the racetrack for owners Pam and Martin Wygod, she won 11 times from 27 starts, including scores in the GI Yellow Ribbon S. and GI Gamely Breeders' Cup H.
After her racing career concluded at age six in 2001, the bay broodmare produced a pair of Grade I winners by Storm Cat in multiple Grade I winner After Market and Grade I winner Courageous Cat–both of whom have gone on to stand at stud. She also is the dam of Jalil (Storm Cat), a Group 2 winner in Dubai who sold for $9.7 million as a Keeneland September yearling in 2005. Tranquility Lake leaves behind a 2014 Wygod homebred filly by Smart Strike named Meadowsweet, who is currently in training with Clifford Sise, Jr.
Purchased by Russell Drake on behalf of the Wygods as a Yearling at the 1996 Keeneland July Sale, she remained with the family throughout the tenure of her broodmare career. She will be buried at Lane's End Farm.
