George Brunacini, who bred 2005 Travers Stakes (gr. I) winner Flower Alley, Central Kentucky horseman Dan Mallory, and trainer Jeff Williams were among the 49 victims of Sunday morning’s crash of a commuter jet shortly after takeoff from Blue Grass Airport in Lexington, Ky.

Brunacini, who operated Bona Terra Farm and also bred grade II winner Victory U.S.A., was confirmed among the flight victims by WLEX-TV.

Mallory, who operated Meadow Haven Farm and was regular consignor to Fasig-Tipton and Keeneland sales, was on the flight, according to Tim Boyce, sales director for Fasig-Tipton Texas. Mallory was en route to the FT Texas sale that will be held Monday and Tuesday.

Mallory served as president of the Kentucky Farm Managers’ Club in 1989 and bred several stakes winners alone and in partnership, including graded winners American Spirit and Traces of Gold
