So very sad.

Press release from Coolmore:
Quote:
Regretfully St Nicholas Abbey has lost his brave battle after suffering a colic this morning. Surgery revealed a severe strangulating colon torsion that was unviable and he had to be euthanized on humane grounds. This is extremely
unfortunate as St Nicholas Abbey had been in terrific form, the laminitis was resolving very well and the fracture had healed better than expected.

Coolmore would like to thank the surgeons, the international experts and all the staff at Fethard Equine Hospital who gave him such excellent care 24/7. We would also like to thank the multitude of well-wishers for all the cards and messages of support for St Nicholas Abbey. He will be buried in the graveyard here at Coolmore.

Nobody learned any lessons from this and this is the problem with money and horses.

seriously? horses are saved quite often because vets know more, and have learned more.
he didn't die from his injury, he died from a twisted gut.

Anyone who doesn't think the colic was a direct result of the issues that the horse had incurred isnt being fair.
