'Real favourite' Blue On Blues dies
Tragedy struck Satish Seemar’s yard this week when one of his most popular horses in training Blue On Blues died.
The Argentine-bred performer made his debut for the Seemar operation in December 2005 and went on to win on four of his 12 starts for the leading UAE trainer.
His final victory was earned on his penultimate start last month, when he won a valuable handicap at the Dubai International Racing Carnival at Nad Al Sheba.
“It was devastating,” said Seemar. “He was a real favourite and it’s made everyone very sad. It was a suspected heart attack at the yard, and there was nothing we could do.
“He was so consistent, always gave his all, and was becoming a bit of favourite for the public too.”
The son of Lode had won three of his five starts this season and was due to run at tonight’s DIRC meeting.
