From USTA website:
Falcon Almahurst was euthanized Sunday at Autumn Breeze Farm in Delaware County, Ohio. The 30-year-old son of Meadow Skipper had been retired from active breeding service since 1999 and was living out his life as a pensioner.

Standing his entire stud career in Ohio, Falcon Almahurst sired the winners of more than $48.1 million. He had 116 pacers with 1:55 marks, including the millionaire mare Stienam p, 3, 1:53.4, a Breeders Crown winner as a 3-year-old in 1985. He also sired the Little Brown Jug winner B J Scoot p, 3, 1:52.3h ($891,010).

Daughters of Falcon Almahurst produced Yes Its True p, 5, 1:50.2 ($883,029), Crisp Sahbra p, 6, 1:51.1 ($856,066) and other outstanding pacers such as Shadow Dance, Ultimate Falcon, K F Pr Sam, Falcons Scooter, Regent Hall, and Here’s A Quarter.

When Falcon Almahurst retired to stud at Hill Farms in Ohio at the end of 1978, he was the fastest 3-year-old ever on both a half-mile and mile tracks. His half-mile track mark of 1:55.2 was taken winning the fastest heat of the 1978 Jug over Abercrombie. Falcon dropped the raceoff in the Jug to Happy Escort.
