Stallion prospect Excelltastic has been euthanised following Sunday’s three-horse fall in the $100,000 Listed Christmas Stakes (1200m) at Caulfield.
Trained by Peter Moody, Excelltastic clattered into the fallen Gold In Dubai past the post as can be viewed by clicking here.
A post race veterinary examination of Excelltastic revealed the horse to be lame in the near foreleg however it was later found the five-year-old son of Fantail had a fractured shoulder.
Excelltastic raced 28 times for six wins and eight placings with prizemoney in excess of $400,000.
His only stakes victory came in the 2009 Listed Port Adelaide Guineas (1800m) and was placed in races such as the 2008 Group 1 Spring Champion Stakes (2000m), 2009 Group 2 Autumn Classic (1800m) and 2009 Group 3 CS Hayes Stakes (1400m).
