Brown gelding 2002 - 5/11/2008, by Mister C (USA) ex Blue Clay
Trainer: Reg Rowley at the GOLD COAST
Owners: BA Rowley, RC Rowley
26 4-3-2 $ 36,350 Stakes AU
Ipswich ~ 1020m Class 5
Six year old gelding The Darkcee (AUS) raced erratically and hung out badly coming around the home turn, he collided with the running rail and suffered severe injuries. He was euthanased on track, Ipswich 5th of November, 2008.
Disturbingly, this is not the first time a horse has suffered serious injuries in this manner at Ipswick Racetrack. There has already been at least one other similar incident in the past few months, which has lead to many trainer/jockeys/owners questioning the safety of this tight track.
