His name was Royal Delight.
He was working at Sha Tin yesterday, getting ready for the Centenary Sprint Cup with his stable mate Famagusta, when he broke down. Winner of the Premier Bowl, third to Sacred Kingdom in the Cathay Pacific Hong Kong Sprint, he was an exciting horse with a lot of potential. They tried but couldn't save him. He had come to HK as War of the Worlds just incase anyone remembers him. He was currently 11th on the top 50 list, rated 120. His finest moment this season..... http://www.hkjc.com/english/racing/r...2007&raceno=07 Anyway, a shame. Rest in peace.

SCMP...
Royal Delight put down after trackwork fall MURRAY BELL Royal Delight, who finished a brave third to Sacred Kingdom in the Cathay Pacific Hong Kong Sprint in course record time, broke down in trackwork at Sha Tin yesterday morning and was later destroyed. Royal Delight was preparing for the HK$4.5 million Centenary Sprint Cup (Group 1) on Sunday week and was coming towards the final 200 metres of a 1,200m gallop with stablemate Famagusta when he suddenly went down. Trainer Caspar Fownes said despite the fact Royal Delight was taken from the track in the horse ambulance, all efforts to save the smart sprinter had been unsuccessful and he was put down by one of the Jockey Club's veterinary surgeons. "Unfortunately, the leg was broken in three places, there was nothing that we could do for him," Fownes said. Royal Delight, who was unbeaten in three starts in Sydney when known as War Of The Worlds, had won another three races since being bought by Peter Law Kin-sang. Royal Delight's biggest win was in the Premier Bowl, a Group Three race over 1,200m at Sha Tin on October 21, when he clocked a course record time of 1:07.6 for 1,200m. That record was subsequently bettered by Sacred Kingdom in the International Sprint Trial the following month. However, he earned even more kudos for his third to the world's number one sprinter, Sacred Kingdom, in the Hong Kong Sprint on December 9, when beaten 2 3/4 lengths. Nice picture of him... happier days..... http://racing.scmp.com/freeservice/n...s20080116a.asp

Hesanoldsalt, yesterday.
I don't like to post things unless they've been confirmed but someone here was kind enough to do just that. Poor horse. I'm sure there will be a link somewhere later on but, apparently, he got loose and ran into a tree. Condolences to his connections on their very sad loss. Rest in peace.
