RIP Juste Momente
Like to make a mention of a great mare, Group one winning Juste Momente who died earlier this month after a bout of colic. The five year old grey won the Robert Sangster Stakes Group I, and earned over half a million in prize money.
The only Group 1 winner by Giant's Causeway in Australia, Juste Momente was one of the most valuable mares in the country and was set to make her stud debut this year.
