Racing Victoria’s Head of Veterinary and Equine Welfare, Dr Brian Stewart, has issued the following statement after the running of the 2013 Emirates Melbourne Cup at Flemington.
“It is with regret that we confirm that Verema had to be euthanised after suffering a fracture to its right foreleg during the running of the Emirates Melbourne Cup.
“This was an unfortunate accident that happens infrequently in racing and our sympathies are extended at this time to the Aga Khan, Alain de Royer Dupre and the connections of Verema.”
A post mortem will be performed at the University of Melbourne Veterinary Clinic as is standard practice.
