Stotsfold...

A SAD DAY FOR THE YARD

In the midst of a really good year for the stable, we were dealt a hammer blow this morning with the news that STOTSFOLD had died on the operating table during the night. Almost 3 weeks after his career-best effort in winning the Gala Stakes at Sandown he was found to be suffering with colic and following several days of intense treatment and observation, he seemed to be over it. Sadly the problem recurred late last night and he was immediately taken to the Newmarket Equine Hospital but they were unable to save him. The homebred 7-year-old will be greatly missed around the yard but the memories will definitely linger long.

People here probably remember him best for his run in the Arlington Million last year (he was 3rd).

Rest in peace, good boy.
