Brindisi Breeze killed in accident
(UKPA) – 12 hours ago Cheltenham Festival winner Brindisi Breeze has died following a freak accident. The six-year-old gelding was killed after jumping out of his paddock during the night at Scottish trainer Lucinda Russell's stables and reportedly being struck by a tanker. Brindisi Breeze gave Russell and jockey Campbell Gillies their first success at jumps racing's premier meeting in the Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdle in March and looked to have a bright future. The trainer said in a statement posted on www.lucindarussell.com: "Brindisi Breeze was tragically killed last night. At 2.30am he jumped out of his paddock and was hit by a tanker. He died instantly. "Brindisi Breeze was Scotland's first Cheltenham Festival winner for 10 years when winning the Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdle decisively last March. "He will be sorely missed by the whole yard and especially his sporting owner Sandy Seymour, who adored his horse. "To go from the pride of standing at Cheltenham watching Brindisi and Campbell stride up the hill to victory to the devastation of today's bizarre incident leaves me deeply saddened. "With the love and the care that is given to these wonderful athletes, to lose any of them is difficult, but when it is a horse who has achieved so much in his short life it is deeply upsetting. It will be hard to overcome. "Here at Arlary we have a strong team of owners, horses and staff who have all been affected by Brindisi's greatness and his loss. "Each one of us have special memories of him, and we will never forget his kind, honest nature and his untapped talent."

Lyrical Chant, at Hereford where she was in the lead (and I believe the favorite).
She was 8. 12 starts, had never won, and she'd been pulled up in 4 of those races... * * * Unowatimeen, at Southwell. He was 12. * * * Bottman, 7 , fell to his death at Haydock. He'd been pulled up in his last start at Cheltenham in March. * * * Master Oats... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/rac...Oats-dies.html

HIPPOLYTUS PUT DOWN
Queen’s Plate runner-up HIPPOLYTUS was put down recently when he became ill. Trainer Mark Casse told Thoroughblog: “We really don’t know what happened to him, he was out in his paddock and when groom went to get him to bring him in for the evening he couldn’t walk behind. He went in for surgery and they put him down on the surgery table.” The son of Philanthropist, bred by John Carey, earned over $460,000 for Horse n Around and Richard Lederman. He was stakes placed many times and gave jockey Tyler Pizarro a huge thrill when he led into the stretch of last year’s Plate. http://www.horse-canada.com/thorough...RlXEw.facebook Pictures from happier days... http://www.woodbineentertainment.com...bum=Hippolytus

Massimo, who was 12...
He fell before the start of his race at Aintree last week (3.15 miles, 18 fences). He had raced twice in 2004, once in 2005, twice in 2006, once in 2008 and then this year...  RIP
