http://www.smh.com.au/sport/horserac...0224-p3k0.html Fantasy Ride... 8 year old gelding at Lingfield in his 50th start... Good Parade, 7 year old mare who had never won, in her 14th start, at Southwell. She had been pulled up in her last race. This time out half the field was pulled up... she didn't make it though. Rest in peace, all. Last edited by my miss storm cat : 02-24-2010 at 10:36 PM.

I hate adding this name...
Black Bear Island. In his first out he was 2nd (Sea the Stars was 4th). He beat some other really nice horses home... horses like Crowded House, Native Ruler and Kite Wood. He had won the Dante and was, of course, 2nd in the Secretariat. A real shame. Rest in peace, good boy.  http://drf.com/news/article/111080.html http://www.racingpost.com/news/horse...international/ Last edited by my miss storm cat : 02-27-2010 at 11:27 AM.

He had won his last race but that was back in the summer of 2007...
He was 10 then. 12 year old Garryvoe (IRE) fell at Fontwell on Sunday. He sadly broke a leg and had to be put down. * * * Orana Conti (FR), 8 year old mare, was leading at Chepstow when she fell... She had just run 10 days ago and this was only her 12th career start. Of the 6 runners only 1 finished. Two were pulled up, two unseated their riders and one won. A sad race... * * * Half Twist, at Philly yesterday... http://www.drf.com/drfPDFChartRacesI...20100301&RN=10 * * * Proudest Romeo... http://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-raci...est-romeo-dead * * * Matthew's Keep... http://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-raci...paign=20100224

Awww... poor guy.
Chief Oscar dies after Ulster National victory By Jessica Lamb 3:55PM 3 MAR 2010 Report: Downpatrick, Wednesday GLORY quickly turned to tragedy for connections of Chief Oscar on Wednesday as the nine-year-old collapsed and died shortly after recording a brave Ulster National victory in the hands of Andrew Lynch. Held up in the early stages, like second-placed Bally Wall, third home Selection Box and fourth Sigma Lifestyle, the Brian Hamilton-trained Chief Oscar took the lead from the weakening Blank Hand five fences from home and was never headed. Paying tribute to the horse who had fulfilled his dream, Hamilton said: "The horse pulled up and Andrew was trotting him back when the horse collapsed under him. The vet thinks he ruptured an artery. "He was doing his best as ever and was game as a lion, as he always was. I've always wanted to win this race but this is a horrible way for it to happen." The well-backed 3-1 favourite Rock Diplomat, blinkered for the first time, tracked early leader Blank Hand but back-peddled quickly as the field approachedthe fourth-last. http://www.racingpost.com/news/horse...687896/latest/

OMG...I watched the race and wondered wtf happened to her.
Terrible does not describe this. This is from the article you linked in the International thread (I fear too few people will see it other-wise )"Next stop was Hyderabad for the Sprinters Cup and by now the girl had blossomed into a self confident lady. Katrak had taught her to relax at the start of a race rather fight for the lead, getting her to make use of her devastating speed when it counted most of all - at the end. The Sprinters' Cup had however attracted the fastest and most seasoned horses in India and when the field turned for home, it seemed like the Bangalore challenger, Lady One had stolen the race. Over five lengths behind, Srinath began to work on Oasis Star knowing that the filly would have to produce her very best with no margin for error. But just as a slice of toast will always fall buttered side down, Murphy's Law was realised and suddenly the horse in front of Oasis Star broke down and began to veer towards the outer rail. Instinctively, Srinath had to take evasive action if he was to stay on top leave alone win the race. "When we began turning for home, I saw Onnu Onnu Onnu wobble in front. I had wanted to go to the inside but then he ducked in. He then took me wide and Lady One was eight lengths in front. I knew that it didn't look good," said Srinath. In horse racing, split seconds can seem like an eternity and when Srinath finally got Oasis Star balanced, he was looking for wings to get to Lady One in time. Hermes, the messenger God, must have been listening - or may have even had some money on her - for it looked like Oasis Star had sprouted wings. As time stood still for the others, Oasis Star devoured ground for what many described as her most impressive victory ever. "She wasn't so experienced and that was even more commendable. She can be ridden from any position and is unquestionably the best horse I have ever ridden," emphasised Srinath. Srinath and Katrak weren't alone in their assessment. "Though I have bred two Derby winners, she possibly is the best I have ever owned or bred," agreed Shapoor Mistry too. Generally, a race such as this requires a recovery period of about three weeks. Oasis Star ate all her oats that evening and encouraged by her post race attitude, her connections chose to run her the very next day in the seven furlong, Dhunjibhoy Million. The race became a procession for her as she spread-eagled the field completing a rare weekend double of two high class races. Vaidya remembers, "She gave weight to older horses, ran within 24 hours and still won by five lengths. I actually think that this was her best race." .... It remains to be seen how Oasis Star will do when pitted against the best sprinters in the world or for that matter in her future races. But for now in India, with a best average speed of 62 kms/hr - faster than what any horse in India has ever gone; four track records across three cities; a domination of four generations; a turn-of-foot that made her rivals look like statues; a performance rating of 134 - the highest in India; and a heart the size of Mount Everest can only lead to one conclusion. Oasis Star is arguably the greatest horse - male or female - to have ever graced the Indian turf. RIP. Last edited by chucklestheclown : 03-06-2010 at 09:48 AM.

It's sad... there's nothing on the Indian racing site yet. Two in one week.... it must be hard. This is about Antonios. That last line...that just says it all about the way their horses are treated. Too bad he didn't make it. RIP 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.
