Imperial Shabra broke down and died at Tramore today. An honest, genuine horse who tried so hard, had run a huge number of times, often above his class. Gutted. A legend.

91 plus times. What a servant the horse has been. Terrible shame.

It’s only a week or so ago that his trainer said he was the toughest horse in Ireland. Very sad. He always tried his best

Poor boy.. not nice that he died when jockey was putting the whip on him. He truly gave it all he had.

I thought it was just me that loved him – nice to see that others cared about him too. The RP have said some nice things about him as well. You rarely find out how the connections feel about their horses, but at least some people cared about this horse. I just wish it hadn’t happened.

Having ran so many times, and winning so recently I can’t help but feel that he must have loved his racing, which is a slight consolation.
