More on Oriental Tiger, from Racing Post...
Oriental Tiger found dead in stable David Conolly-Smith THE story of Oriental Tiger, the ill-starred German five-year-old who lost a Group 1 win earlier this year after a positive test, reached a tragic climax this week when he was found dead in his box at Mulheim. An autopsy revealed that the son of Tiger Hill, who won two other Group races at Cologne, had broken a pelvis and died of internal bleeding. Trainer Uwe Ostmann said: "It's a tragedy and a very sad day for our whole stable." Oriental Tiger was always a headstrong and difficult character and had tried to run out on several occasions. He finished third to Schiaparelli in the 2006 Deutsches Derby but his record before this year was one win in 11 appearances. He began this season with Group 3 and Group 2 wins in April but then ran a poor fifth behind It's Gino at Baden-Baden. After a break of almost three months, he returned with an astounding performance in the Group 1 Rheinland-Pokal on August 17, when he made all the running and was 15 lengths clear at halfway and came home seven lengths and half a length in front of Kamsin and Papal Bull. Little more than two weekslater it was announced that he had tested positive for dexamethasone and he was disqualified. He was being treated - not for the first time - for a skin allergy. The injections contained cortisone and it had not cleared his system in time.

How sad ....
I remember having an argument with someone somewhere in forum land that said horses do not just get injured in their stalls ... Several other people jumped in and could not fathom a horse self-destructing in its house ... They do ...

His name was Box Wallah and he won the 14:10 at kelso last week.
http://guardian.sportinglife.com/GU_...283684,00.html A 5 year old gelding, this was his very first win. They don't bother mentioning it on the chart but he was euthanized after the race. Jump in peace.
