Run in peace, sweet girl. From TT..... Two-time Sunshine Millions winner Joint Effort euthanized by Jeff Lowe Joint Effort, a multiple graded stakes winner who also scored in two Sunshine Millions races, was euthanized on July 29 after fracturing her pelvis while training at Churchill Downs. Bred and raced by Donald Dizney, the four-year-old Runaway Groom filly out of C. C. Princess, by Conquistador Cielo, had not raced since a five-length win in the $500,000 Sunshine Millions Distaff Stakes on January 27 at Santa Anita Park. Joint Effort also won the $250,000 Sunshine Millions Ocala Stud Oaks at Gulfstream Park in 2006. “She was a good filly and it was just kind of a freak thing,” said Roger Brand, general manager at Dizney’s Double Diamond Farm in Ocala. “We had laid her off for a little chip surgery, and she came back and was doing great. So it was a real blow to us.” Trained by Dale Romans, Joint Effort also won the Dogwood Breeders’ Cup (G3) and La Troienne (G3) Stakes at Churchill in 2006. She finished second in three other graded stakes. Bred in Florida, Joint Effort won six of 18 career starts and earned $791,465. |

![]() Ladies Din.....
Rest in peace. From DRF..... Ladies Din dies while show jumping Ladies Din, a winner of 12 of 37 starts and $1,966,754, died earlier this summer of a suspected heart attack, his co-owner Bernie Schiappa and trainer Julio Canani said on Wednesday. The incident occurred when Ladies Din, 12, was show jumping, they said. Ladies Din retired in 2003. He won such major races as the 1998 Del Mar Derby, 2000 Eddie Read Handicap and 2002 Shoemaker Breeders' Cup Mile. Owned by Schiappa and Terry Lanni, Ladies Din was one of the finest turf milers of the late 1990s and early 2000s. In his final start, Ladies Din finished sixth in the 2003 Shoemaker Breeders' Cup Mile at Hollywood Park. Even though Ladies Din had not raced in several years, Schiappa had kept up on the gelding's life after his racetrack retirement. "It's very sad and very emotional," he said. "To me, he was part of the family." |

* * * Two horses die in Randwick barrier trial Friday, 17 August 2007: Two horses collapsed and died in a drama-charged heat at Friday's Randwick barrier trials in which three riders fell including star apprentice Josh Parr who was taken to hospital with concussion. The Graeme Rogerson-trained Mahnala's King, who finished fourth in the 1050m trial, and Savannah De Belle from the Gai Waterhouse stable who ran last of the seven runners, both collapsed around 250 metres after the winning post in the eighth heat of the day. Racing NSW steward Alan Reardon was trackside to see the bizarre series of events in which riders Nash Rawiller, Renee Hinricks and Parr all crashed to the turf. "It's so strange that two horses just went down like that," Reardon said. "It is hard to say exactly what happened, I was at ground level and so all of the advice I've got is from the riders. "Josh's horse (Mahnala's King) just stumbled and collapsed and the young girl Renee Hinricks who was following on her horse (Lady Kashflo) shied away from Josh's horse and it went one way and Renee went another. "She's OK and rode in the later heats. "Then Nash said his horse was not feeling the best in the trial itself and said he was just pulling up and for some reason it just went down and when he could feel it collapsing he just jumped off and he was uninjured. "I don't think we've got video footage of it at this stage because it happened 200 or 300 metres after the post." Parr was taken to hospital for observation and ambulance officers later reported to Reardon that the young rider had a slight concussion. "He'll stay at the Prince Of Wales until they clear him, he's also got a bruised chest so whether they keep him overnight is another thing," Reardon said. The apprentice was officially ruled out of Saturday's Rosehill meeting because of the injuries sustained in the fall. Run in peace. |

Run in peace. Trainer Chamings pays tribute to fatally injured Take A Bow by Lee Mottershead PATRICK CHAMINGS on Sunday described Take A Bow as a horse who "gave everything", as he paid tribute to his stable star, who died after suffering a serious leg injury at Windsor on Saturday. The remarkably consistent six-year-old suffered multiple fractures to his near hind leg entering the closing stages of the Group 3 Winter Hill Stakes. His death came just three months after he'd enjoyed the finest moment of his career when landing the Brigadier Gerard Stakes, also a Group 3, under regular rider Jim Crowley. Before Saturday, and after finishing seventh on his two-year-old debut, Take A Bow earned prize-money in all his runs and finished out of the first four only once in 24 starts. Twice placed in the Cambridgeshire, he raced on Saturday, as throughout his career, for 90-year-old owner Anne Wright, who was able to say a final goodbye to Take A Bow after the Windsor vets had delayed euthanising him until she'd seen him for a final time. Describing Take A Bow as "astonishing", Chamings said: "He was a tough and resolute horse who gave everything. You come across few horses like that, and losing him leaves a huge hole in the yard. "He had been better than ever this year, and his victory in the Brigadier Gerard was the highlight of his career. It's awful to lose him but we have the consolation of still having other members of his family." Crowley said: "He was a top horse who was improving. He always gave 100 per cent and I'll certainly miss riding him." Take A Bow won five of his 26 races, finishing second seven times, third six times and fourth on a further five occasions. He earned £164,176 in win and place prize-money, and received a Racing Post Rating of 115 for his Group 3success. |
