A grey mare; I wonder if melanoma caused the colic as greys get lighter with age the melanin leaves the skin to accumulate somewhere else in the body.
Just a thought.
Very sad, she was a beautiful mare
RIP Ma Filleule
Greys very prone to problems with melanomas. A friend who has Claude, otherwise known as Dark Cloud in his racing life, had 130 removed from various bits of him last year, some where would make most men wince if said out loud. Vet said was better to take them now/then than leave. Took him a while to get over the op, he was very sore for a long time. Luckily he's one of the dolliest horses ever and was a good patient.
Schiaparelli just back covering after colic...very bad timing for him when just getting a bit of notice. At least he is still here which is the main thing.

Western Ryder unfortunately.
Sir Isaac Newton, the 2016 Wolferton Handicap winner at Royal Ascot, suffered a fatal injury when falling at the last in a maiden hurdle in Australia on Tuesday.

Oh that is sad. I saw him sold as a yearling and he was stunning. He would have been my lottery purchase! I got the feeling he possibly would have benefited from being trained in a different yard. So many Ballydoyle horses don’t actually achieve their full potential simply because there are too many talented horses there.

Last year's Galway Plate winner, Borice, from the dreaded colic.

Avro Anson at the good age of 32. Sounds like he had a long and happy retirement. I must admit that I had to recheck that it wasn't old information that had popped up again on facebook as I'd wrongly assumed he was long since gone. Which just goes to show that when horses live their full lifespan they take up a huge chunk of ours, too. RIP.
Flagship Uberalles has passed away at the age of 26

Forty Niner who was US Champion 2yo and beaten by filly, Winning Colors in the Kentucky Derby, aged 35 has passed away. That’s one hell of an age!

Captain Peacock had a heart attack on the gallops this morning. Sad for the Sherwood team and his owners. Hopefully Josh Apiafi will mend soon - he’s got a broken hip and lots of bruises.
