Flying filly Angst graced our lives for a short time many years ago, in a short career she won 7 races, 5 in succession, and remains the only winner of the Sydney "Princess Series", which comprises of wins in the Gr2 Tea Rose Stakes, Gr2 Silver Shadow Stakes, and the Gr1 AJC Flight Stakes. All set to have a huge spring, Angst sadly never woke from an operation to remove bone chips from her knees.
* Angst was brought to my attention by a reader of this website, and I give my thanks. Too many horses like Angst are forgotten about all too quickly, so fast that details become sketchy and hard to find. In working together, we can honour and remember many horses in this way. Thank-you!
