I woke this morning to some great news (takeovers win) followed shortly by some very sad news....
In a sad aftermath to brilliant Australian sprinter Takeover Targets win, former aussie galloper Absolute Champion broke down last night in the Gr1 KrisFlyer, fracturing his off fore fetlock shortly after the start. He raced in Australia in the stables of Warwick Farm trainer Steve Englebrecht as a two-year-old under the name of Genius And Evil before being sold to Hong Kong, where he has taken on the world.
He will be sadly missed.
