As was posted on his thread in the paddock, Dry Martini.

A lovely picture and touching words from his owner...

Coup Align.

8 years old. Winner of 14 of his 34 races. At his peak, I think he was the fastest horse I've ever seen in the flesh. Just so much speed.

So sorry for all those connected to this great sprinter and his many fans.

Whenever I see that you've posted on this thread I just get a sick feeling and a pain in my heart, ed.

I don't see anything about him... what on earth happened?

So incredibly sorry to hear this and wow... how devastating for his people.

I hope he didn't suffer.

So sorry to hear he is gone.

This brief article is the only thing I've seen about it: http://www.nzracing.co.nz/News/11056...-sprinter.aspx

At least it sounds like it was quick.

Thanks for that. I couldn't find anything last night.

Poor guy.
