This is a shock - no joke intended
 

From the Racing Post

ELECTROCUTIONIST, winner of the Dubai World Cup in March, died in Newmarket in the early hours of Saturday morning following a suspected heart attack.

A statement on www.godolphin.com said: "Electrocutionist has sadly died following a suspected heart attack.

"He died this morning after suffering what is thought to have been a heart attack."

The winner of eight of his 12 starts, firstly in Italy with Valfredo Valiani and latterly with Saeed Bin Suroor for Godolphin, Electrocutionist won three times at Group 1 level, the most notable being his thrilling victory in the world's richest race, the World Cup, at Nad Al Sheba in March.
Fuller story to follow.

Godolphin has lost their share of top horses in unusual or tragic circumstances...sad!

Omg.

Big blow to WORLDWIDE racing. Very classy animal. A traveling champ. The sport needs fine animals like these that bring racing countries together.

An early exit indeed. Very sad.

wow, that's a shame. sorry to hear that they lost him.

Horrible....just horrible....:(

What the ****. Bad year for losing top horses in this game.

I am shocked and saddened as well.

This is just so tragic. It is a great loss to the connections and to the fans. RIP good boy.
