R.I.P Cerise Cherry

Hi Robert

I confirmed this morning that Cerise Cherry was euthanased after breaking a leg in the Gr 2 Sprint Cup on Sunday.

He had flown the flag for South Africa for many years and will be missed. I took a lovely photo of him at morning work,sadly the last one.

The very same - Comes from a strong Zim family and luckily that blood continues with his full sister CHERRY FLOWER who has already thrown a winner - Antonia Major(Bred and owned by formite TOONTONY) with her first foal. I can't wait to see the foal this mare throws to that hulk of a stallion- SEVENTH ROCK.

Rip cerise cherry,what a cracking horse from an early age when he chased home warm white night in the grade 1 feature at scottsville up until his death very recently. Great loss to the racing world.

Sad news - RIP

if memory serves he also got a 250k bonus(I think it was about that much) for getting the most points in the Triple Crown of his generation

this horse should have been retired before this, was pushed for every inch(td)
