Zabeel Stables’ Brazilian champion Tudo Azul euthanized

Tudo Azul, two-year-old male champion in Brazil for 2005-’06, who was purchased last season to race in Dubai for Sheikh Rashid bin Mohammed Al Maktoum’s Zabeel Stables, was euthanized last week after a long battle with an intestinal infection.

“The first 10 days after he arrived from the US where we purchased him, he arrived with pneumonia,” explained his trainer Satish Seemar.

“He was treated but then had a relapse with us when we were hardly training him, and he developed an intestinal infection and could not absorb any food.”

The three-year-old son of Boatman had joined Seemar’s stable last fall after winning four of five starts in his native Brazil for owner Luis Felipe Brandao Dos Santos’s Stud Eternamente Rio.

Victories included the Grande Premio Associacao Brasileira dos Criadores e Proprietarios do Cavalo de Corrida (Brz-G1) in Rio de Janeiro and the Grande Premio Ipiranga (Brz-G1) (Brazilian Two Thousand Guineas), the first leg of Sao Paulo’s Jockey Club Quadruple Crown series for three-year-old colts on the turf.

“Our plan was to nominate him for the UAE Derby - he would have been the perfect type for the Derby, unless, of course, he proved himself better on the turf,” added Seemar.
