Soviet Sojourn Tribute

Soviet Sojourn was by Leo Castelli out of Political Parfait.At two, she won the G3 Sorrento Stakes and the G3 Junior Miss Stakes, and placed in the G1 Hollywood Starlet and three other graded stakes. She made only one start at three in the G2 Santa Ynez Breeders' Cup Stakes where she finished third.

She then went on to a successful career as a broodmare. She produced ten named foals, four of which were winners. She is also the dam of Indian Charlie, winner of the G1 Santa Anita Derby in 1998, third-place finisher in the Kentucky Derby, and sire of 49 stakes winners. The last of her foals is an unnamed Not For Love yearling filly.

The 21-year-old mare was euthanized June 30 because of complications for the infirmities of old age.

RIP Soviet Sojourn
