Grade 1 winner Runaway Groom, the sire of 31 graded stakes winners including champion sprinter and sire Cherokee Run, was euthanized at age 28 due to complications of old age on Friday at Vinery in Lexington.
The gray son of Blushing Groom (Fr), out of the stakes-winning Call the Witness mare Yonnie Girl, was pensioned in February after 22 seasons at stud.
