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.

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.

Pre race Post breakdown 1~ Post~2~ Post~3~ Post~4~
In horrific scenes in front of the crowded grandstand in the Australia Hurdle, Crying Storm landed badly after the fifth hurdle, and broke down. He fractured his off fore leg above the knee, and continued hobbling for a further 100m, hitting the running rail before he was stopped. He was quickly euthanased behind a screen at the winning post before the field came around for the finish.
Crying Storm was a good flat performer winning four races including a 2000m open handicap at Flemington and running fourth to Exalted Time in the Adelaide Cup, then a Group One race, as a four-year-old.The season before that he finished eighth to Tails Of Triomphe in the 2005 South Australian Derby.
This was personally witnessed by myself today, and is one of the worst break downs I have seen, Crying Storms off foreleg was literally swinging as he continued to run on three good legs. I will, at a later stage include some photos I took of this incident today.
