WENDYWOOD DEAD
(no author listed)
The best middle distance 3 year old filly of last season, Wendywood, has died.
The Sean Tarry stable was on a high after National Colour's second in one of Europe's strongest Group 1 sprints only to find out that their other stable star has died. Like National Colour, Wendywood was owned by Chris Van Niekerk
The filly was the toast of the South African racing scene late last season when she won the Woolavington Stakes for fillies over 2000m at Greyville. The race is traditionally regarded as a pointer to the Vodacom July. Wendywood was having only her second start when she won this group 1 event. She was beaten only once.
She suffered a bout of colic on Friday night according to stable sources.
