Melbourne Cup: Aidan O’Brien’s Cliffs of Moher put down
The Irish stallion pulled up with a broken shoulder and was then euthanised on track
The running of the Melbourne Cup has again been marred after one of the 2018 entries in the race, Cliffs of Moher, was euthanised at Flemington Racecourse – the sixth horse to suffer that fate since 2013.
The Irish stallion, trained by Aidan O’Brien for Lloyd Williams, pulled up inside the first 600m after suffering a fractured shoulder. He was unable to be saved and was put down at the track.
It's very sad but it could have been worse. Ryan (Moore) could have fallen and been badly hurt or someone else could have been taken out aswell.
R.I.P: the cliffs of moher you will never be forgotten
