Stephan’s Odyssey, who ran second in last year’s Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes, was destroyed in Columbus, Ohio, more than six months after suffering a December training injury.

Stephan’s Odyssey, trained by Woody Stephens and owned by Henryk de Kwiatkowski, shattered sesamoids and tore the suspensory ligament in his front left ankle during a morning workout at Hialeah Park in Florida.

Stephan’s Odyssey finished second in last year’s Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes. He had six wins, four seconds and a third in 15 career starts and earned $1,255,328.
