Astra came out of her last race with a respiratory infection and is being retired since she won't make the Yellow Ribbon or BC Filly and Mare Turf." http://forums.about.com/ab-horseracing/messages/?lgnf=y&msg=5843.1 Champion turf mare Flawlessly dead at 14 TEXSQUARED writes, "She died of natural causes at Elmwood Farm on Thursday morning, having been diagosed with kidney problems recently.
