News
Karl Burke has reflected on the "horrible day" that he lost Fallen Angel, the five-time Group 1 winner he hailed as "a special kind of horse".
The five-year-old suffered a fatal injury in the Qatar Prix Daniel Wildenstein at Longchamp on Saturday.
"It was a horrible day," her trainer said on Sunday morning. "It was tragic. No horse deserves to end their career like that but when they're that good and have been around the yard for a long time it's very upsetting."
Fallen Angel won the Moyglare Stud Stakes at two and the Irish 1,000 Guineas at three for Steve Parkin's Clipper Logistics before being bought by Wathnan Racing. She racked up a Group 1 hat-trick last season when winning the Prix Rothschild at Deauville, the Matron Stakes at Leopardstown and Sun Chariot at Newmarket, in which she beat this year's dominant filly Blue Bolt by two and a quarter lengths. She had three runs this year, notably finishing third behind Blue Bolt in the Matron, before she was pulled up after fracturing a leg in the home straight under regular rider James Doyle in the Daniel Wildenstein.
