First off i want to say I'm happy about Hali (nice comment Jaripeo and thank you, Pat)...

To paraphrase Mr. Channon "There is no easier job in racing than to ride Hali..."

Wow, Oasis Star.

A HUGE star in India and yeah, she is gone.

What a fuc**ng shame.


Oasis Star is arguably the greatest horse - male or female - to have ever graced the Indian turf.

edit - I added Antonios to the angels thread as well...

I'm surprised his death wasn't mentioned anywhere... a(nother) big star in India.

Poor things.

I put him on the angels thread.

Heart attack, poor guy.

http://www.derbytrail.com/forums/sho...888#post622888

The Dubai race did not turn as well as one would have hoped. The project was not abandoned. Antonios was trained for his second race at the Meydan. That was not to be. Antonios began showing signs of distress. It was found that there was damage to the pelvic area. Plans were afoot to bring the Derby winner back to India and let him have an existence free from pressure and stress.

Monday morning, Farooq Rattonsey received a call. “It was heartbreaking,” he told me. “The news was that there was internal bleeding and Antonios had suffered a massive heart attack. He did not survive. Mr Shah is in Dubai. This is hard to take. He (Antonios) was so good to us.”

Thank you for the Leahurst news.
