2014 Emirates Melbourne Cup Day discussion.

[OhhhhhCyril]

AR .. Wtf ?? Please no

 

[Tulip]

Which horse died last year?

Verema was euthanised on the track..

 

[Gavin Excell]

Which horse died last year?

Cant recall name but Paris backed it

 

[FallingLiefs]

Luckily covered willing foe bet with protectionist, would have been a better result with WF top 4 as its money back. seismos top 10 a win. WSTB was disastrous for all multiples, very close for a big win but as usual happy with a small win.

AR has died according to TVN.

After collapsing in his stall straight after the race.

 

[Ron The Bear]

At least when Red Cadeaux comes back as a 10 year old I'll remember to put him for a drum...

I think Shadow King (2nd, 3rd, 2nd, 3rd) might've returned as a 10yo. RC's the modern equivalent.

Edit:
1929 - 6th behind Nightmarch/Phar Lap as 4yo
1930 - 3rd to Phar Lap as 5yo
1931 - 2nd to White Nose as 6yo (Phar Lap 8th)
1932 - 3rd to Peter Pan as 7yo
1933 - 2nd to Hall Mark as 8yo
1934 - wet track, didn't run
1935 - 4th to Marabou as 10yo

Think he's buried near the Flemington winning post.

I think they will find during the autopsy that Zac Purton's ride killed him.

[KardiniaPark]

Poor bugger

 

[Tulip]

AR has died according to TVN.

After collapsing in his stall straight after the race.

Reports have been going for 10 minutes, longer than when 7 confirmed he was still alive.

Praying.

 

[Gavin Excell]

Sky 2 saying has died

 

[Chism]

I think they will find during the autopsy that Zac Purton's ride killed him.

I want to laugh at that but can't.

Before we lynch Purton who is to say he was not riding to the stables instructions? Just sayin.

 

[Arecsa]

Hamish confirming that news now.

 

[juice t]

Rompingwins confirms....

 

[Big Sauce 21]

Confirmed, passed away. Not Euthanized.

 

[RWnBluey]

F#*k. so sad. RIP AR

 

[Andrew Mc]

Confirmed by the chairman now...

 

[Tulip]

Confirmed. Awful.

Rest in Peace

 

[vast]

heck been confirmed. Poor thing.

 

[Gavin Excell]

dreadful conclusion

 

[Chism]

Terrible news and shocking for connections of the horse.

R.I.P AR.

 

[HawkintheTuarts]

This.

 

[Gavin Excell]

The anti horse racing crowd will have a field day

 

[banana_bus]

Sucks massively :-(

 

[Andrew Mc]

I want to laugh at that but can't.

Also could have been the horse not reacting the way it should have.

 

[PP34]

What was the cause?
