Special mention today to the lovely, honest horse 'Sunburnt Land (AUS) who was tragically struck by lightning last night in his paddock in outer Melbourne and died. The Scenic (IRE) 5 year old gelding earned almost $380,000 in his brief career, highlighted by a win in the Gr 2 Caulfield Sprint only 1 month ago.
Sunburnt Land (AUS) had been sent for a short spell after finishing third to Swick in last Saturday's Group One Patinack Farm Classic (1200m) at Flemington. At his previous start he finished a luckless third to Hot Danish in the Salinger Stakes at Flemington on Derby Day.
A Group 1 win was not far away for this luckless galloper, however it was not to be with the tragic news this morning. I for one will miss this emerging galloper.
