Angels ~ In Memoriam, 2011

[my miss storm cat]

She had only won 4 of her 38 starts but had hit the board in another 13 races.

Dansimar was a 7 year old daughter of Daylami who was fatally injured at Sandown on the 5th.

Unless I'm reading it incorrectly this was her first ever G3 try.

Sadly, she was owned by Let's Live Racing.

It's always sad but I found that, well... I just wanted to mention it.

Jump in peace, good girl.

Poor guy.

Messara loses Battlefield

Tuesday, 8 February 2011:

Smart sprinter Battlefield has had to be euthanized after breaking a shoulder in an exhibition gallop yesterday at Scone.

The lightly raced five-year-old, prepared on the course by Paul Messara, was on the comeback trail and close to returning to the races.

Galloping in between races, he put a foot wrong on the corner and broke down.
