Tragic accident

10 years 10 months ago
#496096
We are very sad to report that earlier this morning one of our New Turf trucks had a tragic accident outside of Laingsburg on the way to CT. Sadly one of our grooms died and 3 horses were euthanased. The surviving horses and staff are on the way back to CT.

Our deepest condolences to Snaith Racing and their patrons and our heartfelt thanks for their understanding during this hard time.

Personally we want to send our strength to our sons Michael, Matthew and Marcus who work so hard 24/7 to provide the best service they can....

I am so sorry for all concerned. Had the same happened to me outside Langsberg in the 80's and lost the lives of some of my best horses. It is the most horrible road and Terence Millard also had a sad loss there on the way back from Durban.

My prayers for Snaiths, the groom Elias who passed away, the drivers and the Sham boys and condolences to the owners of the horses. November Rain's guardian angel was with him this am.
