Rebel Rebel euthanized

IEAH Stables' and others' Rebel Rebel, who sustained a condylar fracture to his right front cannon bone when eighth in the Group 1 Hong Kong Mile at Sha Tin on December 10 of last year, in early-April succumbed following a lengthy attempted recovery from a variety of associated ailments and had to be euthanized.
Rebel Rebel since his race had been a patient at The Hong Kong Jockey Club's Equine Hospital at Sha Tin under the care of Dr. Chris Riggs and others and battled infection and laminitis.
“This was terribly tough on everyone involved, especially since our experience in Hong Kong was such a thrill even though he ran eighth that day,” said Michael Iavarone, co-president of IEAH Stables. “It really stings because he had been in Hong Kong since December and it'd been such an up and down battle. He was a great competitor on the track and following his injury he showed a great will to live and fought for his life to the very end.
“For this to come at a time when our stable has done so well, with horses like Kip Deville going out and winning graded stakes, shows you how tough this business can be. Rebel Rebel was one of our best runners and he'll be missed in the stable.”
Rebel Rebel raced 22 times in his career and posted a record of 5-4-2 with overall purse earnings of $605,835. He made the final 11 starts of his career for IEAH Stables and trainer Richard Dutrow Jr., with his prior efforts coming in Europe. His best efforts for IEAH Stables included a 2 ¼-length win in Belmont Park's Grade 3 Poker Handicap in July 2006, a second-place finish in the Grade 1 Woodbine Mile, and a third-place finish in the Grade 3 Virginia Derby.
