Electrocutionist, 2006 Dubai World Cup Winner, Dies of Heart Attack
Electrocutionist has sadly died following a suspected heart attack.
Winner of eight of his twelve starts and never out of the first three, the five-year-old won three Group One’s, the most notable being his thrilling victory in the world’s richest race, the Dubai World Cup, at Nad Al Sheba in March.
Godolphin racing manager Simon Crisford said: “Earlier in the week, we detected an abnormality in Electrocutionist’s heart. He was admitted to the veterinary hospital for tests and further investigations. He appeared to be responding well to treatment, but during the night he suffered what seems to have been a fatal heart attack.
“It is terribly sad. He was a great horse for Godolphin and a real stable favourite. He will be sorely missed by all of us.”

Add a Little Color to Your Traditional English Style
Leave it to my girls to find more things for me to buy. This time they found cool colored stirrup irons. These engraved fillis irons are available in red, blue, pink, purple, yellow, green and fushia. You can order them online from Golden Royal or if you’re in the Indianapolis area you can stop by their store. I think I’m going to give in and let the girls have a pair of purple ones. Then of course, they’ll want a new purple saddle pad to match. Oh and a purple… you get the idea, don’t you? It’s never ending. But, it’s fun! these are $39.95.
