Toast To Dash DIes at 22

BREAUX BRIDGE, LA–AUGUST 29, 2016—Today we mourn the loss of Champion and Leading sire, Toast To Dash. He was laid to rest after a long battle with laminitis. The AQHA Racing Champion Two-Year-Old and Champion Two-Year-Old Colt of 1996 has stood at Robicheaux Ranch since 2012.

Bred and raced by Angelina Cattle Co., the son of Victory Dash was trained by K.C. Carden. Robert and Karen Nunnally owned the stallion at the time of his death.

“It has been an honor to stand and care for Toast throughout much of his stallion career”, says ranch manager Ryan Robicheaux. “We are truly saddened, but knowing he is no longer in pain eases this loss. He will be missed greatly. His legacy will live on through his foals and outstanding producing daughters.”

As a runner, Toast To Dash won eight of nine starts as a two-year-old including three Grade 1 wins and one Grade 3 (Texas Classic Futurity-G1, Kansas Futurity-G1, Manor Downs Futurity-G1, Manor Downs Laddie Futurity-G3) earning titles of AQHA Racing Champion Two-year-old, AQHA Racing Champion Two-year-old Colt. At three he won the Kansas Derby-G1, was third in the Remington Park Derby-G1, a finalist in Texas Classic Derby-G1 and Dash for Cash Derby-G3, compiling lifetime earnings of $533,181.

As a sire, Toast To Dash has been equally impressive with over $20 Million in earnings from sixteen crops to race. Just a few of his top money earners include G1 winner Angelas Toast ($612,894), G2 winner, Brindis Poor Cayenne ($453,173), G2 winner, Cool Eleanor $451,412), G1 winner, Toastin Dash ($391,707).
