Moonee Valley ~ Ian MacDonald Steeplechase
Article ~Photo
On the same day as Supreme Heights and Philanthrop (same race as Philanthrop) Piermont clipped a jump and fell on the first lap. He had severely injured his spine, and was unable to be moved, and was still alive as the field thundered past him on lap two. He was then euthanased where he lay, 21st of June 2003.
This was described to me by someone who was there, to be the worst thing they had ever witnessed at a racetrack - ....'the fallen horse was terrified as the field came back around, with the sound like thunder, and the horse basically paralysed, jumping very close to where he lay struggling, why they couldn't put the poor horse down in the 3 minutes they had until the field came back around, i will never know....'
