Very sad news and so young. How is the severity of a pelvic fracture diagnosed on the track without X-rays? Newfangled was investigated before the sad decision to PTS was made. I read the trainers blog on her website and felt it was rather blunt. Thoughts go to the poor breeder who was devastated. RIP Myanne
Have just read some comments on FB (in memory of our racehorses) from people who were actually there at the track. Its devastating to hear how she must have suffered. At peace now but a waste of such a beautiful horse.
Ridiyka was part owned by a Group according to the trainers website and prior to the race, shares were still available to buy. Later on Sunday, I went on the website to see if there had been any announcement about Ridiyka’s death. I couldnt find anything but the advert in ‘horses for sale’ had been removed. Perhaps a few words wouldn’t have gone a miss.
I also witnessed Ridiyka’s race and it was very distressing to say the least. The horse was described as an ‘Aga Khan cast off showing nothing but greenness’. Should she have been in this race in the first place? The favourite had already refused to line up. Seeing Ridiyka trying to stand at the side of the track was heart breaking. RIP little girl.
