Also haven't seen anybody mention the death of Absolute Champion in Hong Kong. Haven't heard the hue and cry of the drugs/dirt track people piping up to explain this.......

it was covered in the international section, of course not as many people are aware of it, so the hue and cry is much less. also because its not our jurisdiction. something smells about that incident, and I think it needs investigating. miss storm cat knows much more about it. I think its more to do with whether the horse was sound to race or not.
