Last week, two big names among the horses that are racing for money have lost their lives, one from an injury that was too serious and has taken his toll in the horse’s life, and the other one of old age, champion of the 1996. Let’s start with the less important, Trading Leather, the Irish Derby winner, who died soon after he participated in the Japan Cup and blew an injury. The horse, Jackpot Bet Online who won the Irish Derby, passed away after suffering a serious leg fracture while running in the Group One of the Japan Cup.

He was four years old, and he pulled out, leaving space for Jackpot Bet Online Epiphaneia to win the race. His trainer and Jockey Jim Bolger commented that his horse Trading Leather had a great career, and as a highlight to that was the Irish Derby victory.
