St Nicholas Abbey suffers career ending injury

St Nicholas Abbey set for critical surgery

Quote:

The six-year-old suffered a fractured pastern during a routine piece of work at Ballydoyle on Tuesday morning as he was going through his final preparation for Saturday's King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot, a race for which Europe's all-time leading money-earner had been expected to be favourite.

Coolmore Stud tweeted: "St Nicholas Abbey suffered a serious career ending injury at Ballydoyle this morning, vets are currently attending to him.

"We hope to save him for a career at stud."

A later update added: "St Nicholas Abbey is currently in a comfortable condition at Fethard Equine Hospital, where he is scheduled for surgery tomorrow morning."

saw about the injury in another room. here's hoping for the best, hope they can save him.

Oh no. :( Wishing him all the best. He was a wonderful horse to watch. I was lucky enough to see him in the flesh in one of his Coronation Cup wins - a truly stunning galloper. Really hoping they can save him.

I am surprised that the Coolmore's first quote regarding the horse's future was about saving him for his 800-mares-a-season stud duty.

i'm surprised that you're surprised!

wasn't it coolmore who retired a horse at two to stand at stud because a similarly bred stallion died?
