Trushan won the race: Stradivarius was way back --- it was only 13  days since his last race--- he looked hopelessly locked in on the inside but never really made much of a move-----i feel bad when he loses!

I wasn’t home to watch so sad to hear he didn’t do well.

  Sadly Anthony Van Dyck broke down in the Melbourne cup and had to be euthanized.

I first read this on another site and am in total shock. I was not even aware of the Melborne Cup-

 I follow European racing as some of us do here and this horse was always in the highest level races.

 RIP

Oh no! I wonder if their racetracks are to blame? Several injured racing down under recently? My condolences to his connections, I will miss watching him race!:(

So sorry to read this!

So sad, Coolmore lost two to breakdowns I’m Australia in a week.

 Rule changes coming after the death of Anthony Van Dyck

 Good to hear!!!!    Apparently the track surface is very different in Europe v Australia and they are thinking that could have something to do with the breakdowns that have occurred .

Magical runs tonight for probably her last start before retirement
