JODAMI PASSES AWAY


By Tom Peacock, PA Sport

Peter Beaumont is reflecting on the loss of his 1993 Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Jodami, who died on Monday at the age of 23.

Also second in the following year's Gold Cup and three times successful in the Irish Hennessy, Jodami had an accident at the trainer's stable in Brandsby, North Yorkshire, where he spent many winters.

"It's very sad. We used to see him every morning at six and give him his oats in the evening," said Beaumont.

"I rode him for many years myself when I was looking after the yearlings and we will all miss him.

"I was at the press awards lunch yesterday and it was just near the end when they called me up to tell me.

"It's hard to say whether there was anything wrong with him before, but I do know there was nothing they could do.

"Ireland, Cheltenham and Haydock were the main great days and he was no trouble at all - we never had a cross word."

It's been a bad week and so many truly talented horses left us, but i need to add this name and just remember him for a minute.

Mighty Beau.

I don't know if any sites will bother with an obit so from memory I know he won the Aegon Turf Sprint and was once 2nd to Soaring Free (Canadian HOY) but i can't remember which race. I'm pretty sure he was in the Hollywood Turf Express.

Back when Mullins trained him, he ran at Royal Ascot in the King's Stand Stakes and the Golden Jubilee. I think he was 5th in the King's Stand.

Anyway, he was pulled up at Penn National a couple of days ago and they were kind enough to write back.

Nice horse who died trying running for a crappy $4 thousand.

Run in peace, good boy.

Thank you for looking that up and taking the time to post it. I was remembering stuff off the top of my head and not doing the greatest job of it...

Thanks for remembering him too.

Cecil's 2,000 Guineas hopeful Wingwalker dies
By Turia Tellwright3.42PM 2 DEC 2008

HIGHLY-REGARDED juvenile Wingwalker collapsed and died on Monday morning.

The Henry Cecil-trained colt jumped to the fore of the 2009 2,000 Guineas betting after two impressive starts, but subsequently disappointed in the Group 3 Somerville Tattersall Stakes in October and was consequently a general 33-1 shot for the Classic.

Teddy Grimthorpe, racing manager to owner Khalid Abdullah, said the two-timewinner was thought to have suffered a heart attack.

"Wingwalker collapsed and died during a canter yesterday morning," Grimthorpe confirmed on Tuesday.

"We have yet to have the results of the post-mortem but we can presume he suffered a heart attack. It's a huge loss as Henry rated him very highly and we thought he might have been very special.

"It will be felt very hard throughout the organisation."

That sucks.

I remember racing our gelding "In the Red" against him at Remington.
