Oh no. So sad. Unlike with St Nicholas Abbey I hope they put the horse's welfare ahead of his financial opportunites.
what reason for the colic in this horse
Travel. He wasn't great and didnt run well at the Breeders Cup the other year and now he has colicked on landing in Aus for stallion duties. He clearly doesn't cope with long plane journeys so I would be worried about him coming home again.
He’s in New Zealand, not Australia and I doubt very much that you know why he got colic ! He’s just had another operation so I imagine the outlook isn’t great.Travel.

Yes, Racing Post reporting it, they decided a third bout was a bridge too far to operate. Also report losing Espoir d'Allen after a freak accident a few days ago![]()
