Sweet Serendipity Dies On Track

[Deleted]

^{Sweet Serendipity, a two-year-old filly purchased from The Wire's Annual Create sale has died on the track. The filly collapsed during a workout yesterday morning of an aneurysm causing a fatal burst aorta. She died instantly. The filly named her after the stables, and it is a sad sad loss.}

_{Nick Landing Says: This is terrible! I oversaw the selection of the horses put up for sale! I didn't notice anything wrong with her! Could this have been prevented?}

Jacey Leigh-Lanning: Unfortunately not I'm afraid. If she was a filly who was prone to heart problems with monitering, maybe so - but it was not to be. She was fine when we got her, unfortunately it's something that happens, we just have to carry on I'm afraid. :(

Ripley Marsh: It's such an unfortunate turn of events, especially in the case of a relatively young horse. I believe injuries and deaths are the worst in young horses. There's so much potential and to lose one so young, is a major loss for the entire racing industry. Witch Creek Stable's prayers go out to the staff of Serendipity Hills.

Jacey Leigh-Lanning: Thank you Ripley, I agree - our new apprentice was riding the filly and it was her first workout with us - the bond she grew with that filly over the space of the week was practically inseparable. Eve suffered a sprained wrist and will be out of action for a week. It's shocking how things happen so quickly, and like you said, with younger horses too it makes everything worse, seeing one of the stables most hopeful fillies go down the drain in the blink of an eye. If something could have been done, I would've done everything that I could - but unfortunately it wasn't to be.
