One of the greatest Maritime-bred pacing mares to set foot on a racetrack, Ramblinglily has passed away at the age of 10.

While racing exclusively in Atlantic Canada, Ramblinglily (Articulator - Crafty Jewel) amassed a 69-33-21 record for 123 top-three finishes in 155 career starts while banking $195,063 in purses. The homebred was trained throughout her career by Riverview, N.B.'s Allan Jones, who co-owned the pacer with Normand Leger of Shediac, N.B.

Her stakes pedigree reads like a canonical resource of Atlantic stakes events.

"She had an extreme burst of speed for a short period. One of the most explosive I have ever driven," driver Brodie MacPhee told Trot Insider. "An absolute pleasure to drive. My heart sank when I read the news."

Ramblinglily was slated to return to the racetrack in 2020 but suffered an injury during a qualifying race at Exhibition Park. The connections made the decision to retire the pacing star and start her second career as a broodmare. She was set to be bred to Malicious but took a turn for the worse when having some issues with bowel movements prompted veterinary intervention. The injured ankle took a turn for the worse at the vet clinic.

"She had a complication that required surgery with only 50 percent chance of recovery," said Jones' graddaughter Ava Dickson in a Facebook post. "If she did recover chances were it could occur again in two weeks."

Because of the grim prognosis for recovery, the connections made the difficult decision to have Ramblinglily put down on Saturday, June 27.
