Blue Diamond Stud has announced the death of Princess Loulou, the dam of champion racemare Nashwa, at the age of 16. She died following a bout of colic. The daughter of Pivotal was purchased by Imad Al Sagar's Blue Diamond Stud at the Tattersalls December Mares Sale for 300,000gns in 2018. She became an integral part of the operation's broodmare band with Nashwa (Frankel) winning three Group 1s – including the Prix de Diane – along with her son Nebras (Dubawi) scoring at Listed level. “It is a very sad day,” Al Sagar commented. “Princess Loulou has been key to the development of Blue Diamond Stud, firstly as a talented racemare herself and latterly as a Classic producer as the dam of our Champion Nashwa.”He added, “With her wins in the Prix de Diane, Nassau and Falmouth Stakes, Nashwa gave us many memorable days on the track. She is now part of our broodmare band at the stud and has a very good Dubawi colt foal. We also have Princess Loulou's last foal, a Dubawi filly, to look forward to. “Princess Loulou will be greatly missed by us and all the team at the stud. She leaves behind an important legacy and one that we are very proud to be part of. Princess Loulou leaves behind a yearling colt by Frankel, a full-brother to Nashwa named Nasheed, and a filly foal by Dubawi.”The post Death Of Brilliant Triple Group 1 And Classic Winner Nashwa’s Dam At 16 appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
