Electrocutionist, 2006 Dubai World Cup Winner, Dies of Heart Attack

2006 Dubai World Cup Winner, Electrocutionist has sadly died following a suspected 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.”
