Overview

  • Trueshan’s left-hind pastern broke during the Al Shaqab Goodwood Cup on July 29, forcing his on-track euthanasia.
  • He was interred at Barbury Castle on July 30 alongside other Barbury Castle stable stars.
  • The British Horseracing Authority called the injury an unfortunate accident after affirming that pre-race checks had raised no concerns.
  • Trainer Alan King and jockey Hollie Doyle led tributes to the nine-year-old, recalling his 16 wins and more than £2 million in prize money.
  • Scandinavia’s victory under Wayne Lordan made him the first three-year-old to win the Goodwood Cup since 2017 and positioned him as a market leader for the St Leger.
