Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted August 23, 2019 Journalists Share Posted August 23, 2019 Cartier Horse of the Year and four-time Group 1 winner Roaring Lion (Kitten’s Joy-Vionnet, by Street Sense), who raced for Qatar Racing, was euthanised in New Zealand on Friday evening after another bout of colic, Tweenhills Stud announced. The 4-year-old, who had shuttled from Tweenhills to Cambridge Stud in New Zealand to stand his first Southern Hemisphere season, was on the mend at Cambridge Stud after a second colic surgery performed earlier this month. Originally the grey had exhibited signs of discomfort immediately after leaving quarantine and had undergone his first colic operation in late July. Tweenhills Stud’s David Redvers said, “At approximately midday (GMT)/23:00 NZ today Roaring Lion was observed to be uncomfortable in his stable at Cambridge Stud. On examination by stud vet Rob Hitchcock, Roaring Lion was admitted to Cambridge Equine hospital. There operating surgeons Dr. Alanna Zantingh and Dr. Greg Quinn performed ultrasound examination and at 14:45 (GMT) the decision was made on welfare grounds to put Roaring Lion to sleep.” The post Cartier Champion Roaring Lion Euthanised in NZ appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
