Good Parade, 7 year old mare who had never won, in her 14th start, at Southwell. She had been pulled up in her last race. This time out half the field was pulled up... she didn't make it though. Rest in peace, all. |
Rip Proper Reality. And to all Philly horses that have become deceased of late; I hope your deaths don't go in vain.

I hate adding this name...
Black Bear Island. In his first out he was 2nd (Sea the Stars was 4th). He beat some other really nice horses home... horses like Crowded House, Native Ruler and Kite Wood. He had won the Dante and was, of course, 2nd in the Secretariat. A real shame. Rest in peace, good boy. :( http://drf.com/news/article/111080.html http://www.racingpost.com/news/horse...international/ |

He had won his last race but that was back in the summer of 2007...
He was 10 then. 12 year old Garryvoe (IRE) fell at Fontwell on Sunday. He sadly broke a leg and had to be put down. * * * Orana Conti (FR), 8 year old mare, was leading at Chepstow when she fell... She had just run 10 days ago and this was only her 12th career start. Of the 6 runners only 1 finished. Two were pulled up, two unseated their riders and one won.

Chief Oscar dies after Ulster National victory By Jessica Lamb 3:55PM 3 MAR 2010 Report: Downpatrick, Wednesday GLORY quickly turned to tragedy for connections of Chief Oscar on Wednesday as the nine-year-old collapsed and died shortly after recording a brave Ulster National victory in the hands of Andrew Lynch. Held up in the early stages, like second-placed Bally Wall, third home Selection Box and fourth Sigma Lifestyle, the Brian Hamilton-trained Chief Oscar took the lead from the weakening Blank Hand five fences from home and was never headed. Paying tribute to the horse who had fulfilled his dream, Hamilton said: "The horse pulled up and Andrew was trotting him back when the horse collapsed under him. The vet thinks he ruptured an artery. "He was doing his best as ever and was game as a lion, as he always was. I've always wanted to win this race but this is a horrible way for it to happen." The well-backed 3-1 favourite Rock Diplomat, blinkered for the first time, tracked early leader Blank Hand but back-peddled quickly as the field approachedthe fourth-last. http://www.racingpost.com/news/horse...687896/latest/ |

One of the brighest stars in India, the queen of the turf, the champion and flag-bearer of a nation...
Oasis Star, at Meydan today. http://www.derbytrail.com/forums/sho...873#post620873 http://www.racingpost.com/news/horse...dubaicarnival/ Rest in peace, beautiful girl. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIkr5...eature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgIRs...eature=related edit - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wow this week is horrible... I didn't realize this but Antonios, another huge star in India, died this week at Meydan as well. http://www.indiarace.com/NewsAround/...ernational.htm This is him winning the 2009 Derby... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VaxyzIfEuyE |
OMG...I watched the race and wondered wtf happened to her.
Terrible does not describe this. This is from the article you linked in the International thread (I fear too few people will see it other-wise:() "Next stop was Hyderabad for the Sprinters Cup and by now the girl had blossomed into a self confident lady. Katrak had taught her to relax at the start of a race rather fight for the lead, getting her to make use of her devastating speed when it counted most of all - at the end. The Sprinters' Cup had however attracted the fastest and most seasoned horses in India and when the field turned for home, it seemed like the Bangalore challenger, Lady One had stolen the race. Over five lengths behind, Srinath began to work on Oasis Star knowing that the filly would have to produce her very best with no margin for error. But just as a slice of toast will always fall buttered side down, Murphy's Law was realised and suddenly the horse in front of Oasis Star broke down and began to veer towards the outer rail. Instinctively, Srinath had to take evasive action if he was to stay on top leave alone win the race. "When we began turning for home, I saw Onnu Onnu Onnu wobble in front. I had wanted to go to the inside but then he ducked in. He then took me wide and Lady One was eight lengths in front. I knew that it didn't look good," said Srinath. In horse racing, split seconds can seem like an eternity and when Srinath finally got Oasis Star balanced, he was looking for wings to get to Lady One in time. Hermes, the messenger God, must have been listening - or may have even had some money on her - for it looked like Oasis Star had sprouted wings. As time stood still for the others, Oasis Star devoured ground for what many described as her most impressive victory ever. "She wasn't so experienced and that was even more commendable. She can be ridden from any position and is unquestionably the best horse I have ever ridden," emphasised Srinath. Srinath and Katrak weren't alone in their assessment. "Though I have bred two Derby winners, she possibly is the best I have ever owned or bred," agreed Shapoor Mistry too. Generally, a race such as this requires a recovery period of about three weeks. Oasis Star ate all her oats that evening and encouraged by her post race attitude, her connections chose to run her the very next day in the seven furlong, Dhunjibhoy Million. The race became a procession for her as she spread-eagled the field completing a rare weekend double of two high class races. Vaidya remembers, "She gave weight to older horses, ran within 24 hours and still won by five lengths. I actually think that this was her best race." .... It remains to be seen how Oasis Star will do when pitted against the best sprinters in the world or for that matter in her future races. But for now in India, with a best average speed of 62 kms/hr - faster than what any horse in India has ever gone; four track records across three cities; a domination of four generations; a turn-of-foot that made her rivals look like statues; a performance rating of 134 - the highest in India; and a heart the size of Mount Everest can only lead to one conclusion. Oasis Star is arguably the greatest horse - male or female - to have ever graced the Indian turf. RIP. |

It's sad... there's nothing on the Indian racing site yet. Two in one week.... it must be hard. This is about Antonios. That last line...that just says it all about the way their horses are treated. Too bad he didn't make it. RIP The Dubai race did not turn as well as one would have hoped. The project was not abandoned. Antonios was trained for his second race at the Meydan. That was not to be. Antonios began showing signs of distress. It was found that there was damage to the pelvic area. Plans were afoot to bring the Derby winner back to India and let him have an existence free from pressure and stress. |

* * * I've been trying to think of what to say about Mr. Umphrey who I was such a fan of and who has been in the waiting for news on thread. Not being a good enough writer to do him justice, I'll simply say that the very difficult decision was made by those close to him, after injuries he had suffered in a race at Philly, to let him sleep forever and be free of pain. It seems like, from things I've read, he was always a barn favorite. I appreciate the people at Philly for passing on my email and am so grateful to his trainer for writing to me. I can't imagine being the one to make such a decision. I'm only a fan but as a fan I'm thankful that someone had that kind of strength, that kind of compassion, and let him go. Goodbye, Mr. Umphrey.You were so much fun to follow and root for... thank you for making life just a little bit happier. Rest in peace. |

Law and Order, a four year old gelding, at Plumpton today.
He'd run 5 times on the flat, 2 on the all weather and 4 in hurdle races but he never hit the board. He unseated his rider three starts ago. Two starts ago he fell, he was pulled up last time out and he sadly died this time. RIP |
Why would they have kept running him? Do you have an article on him? What kind of track is Plumpton? Is it like a Philly Park?
|
I know as much about Plumpton as you do.
Here's their link... http://plumptonracecourse.co.uk/ I saw a little blurb with this horses name and that was it so looked him up. When I was writing the post I did actually say that I was horrible for passing judgement but why was this guy even racing. I just didn't post it. Deleted it, posted it, and that was that. It bothered me too though and I feel really horrible for his people but I know what you mean and have no idea why on earth he was even entered. Poor thing. * * * I need to add these three from the CHRB minutes / Golden Gate... Sweetville, Fashionita and Fun and Profit...

Danehill's son, a five time winner in the U.K, had been at stud for two years leaving two crops on the ground for the popular KZN stud. He stood for R40 000. "This game can be a helluva leveller. You come out of a weekend of such spectacular feats, and you think you’re on top of the world. But dealing in livestock can be a cruel business, and readers of these columns will know that Stronghold had just piloted his way through precarious waters." mentioned Summerhill's website. "Just as we began to believe he was well on his way to recovery, he was struck by a devastating colic. True to his name, he took his suffering manfully, but it wasn’t enough to save him when they opened him up to find an irreparable rupture. "Nobody really knows what a thing like this means to a farm like ours. He came to us as a champion, and as one of the best credentialed stallion prospects we’d had the privilege to work with. Without doubt, he stood out among the leading sons of Danehill on the African continent. We’re just fortunate that his precious genes have been left in two crops at Summerhill. That won’t repair the hole he’s left, but if you’re looking for consolations at times like this, that’s the only place you’ll find them. Rest in peace. |
