Bomb Rickles, an extremely talented racehorse and one of Western Canada's top stallions has died in a freak accident.
While grazing on his Leduc, Alberta farm, the son of No Nukes was attacked by a German-bred jumper who escaped from his holding pen. Donner Bube, a 12-Year-Old stallion, jumped a five and a half foot fence to get at Bomb Rickles. He delivered a number of forceful kicks to the 20-Year-Old stallion, eventually breaking one of his femur bones. Bomb Rickles was later euthanised by veterinarians.
The pacer was an exceptional racehorse in his day, racing until the age of seven. At 4-Years-Old, he took a personal best of 1.52.2 in a time trial at The Red Mile and earned a total of $829,366 over his career.
As a stallion, Bomb Rickles sired many top horses, including the likes of Scarlet And Gold p,1.50.3 ($593,680), CB Flight p,1.51.4s ($368,065), Token Hit p,1.53s ($317,309) and Noonday Hardball p,1.51.4s ($305,288) among others. In total, he's sired the winners of nearly $11.7 million, including 31 winners of $100,000 or more. His influence will continue to be felt for years to come with yo
