Shame that they put her to sleep at least six months too late. Poor mare having to suffer all the agony they put her through.

They tried Shads, because apparently she was improving. Clair Bird, her former strapper went and saw her over the summer months and said she looked like she could make a recovery. No different to Barbaro. Don't agree with what they did, but at least she is now resting in peace and will be buried at Ellerslie along with a mounted statue of her.

One of the greatest mares we will ever see, just a shame she didn't see out her days in peace in NZ.

I don't agree with how connections treated Barbaro, either. Both animals should have been put out of their misery months before they died, neither of them had more than a slim chance of surviving with a decent quality of life, and that slim chance hinged on a lot of pain and suffering beforehand.

So far as I am concerned, the owners of both were misguided at best and erring on selfish at worst.

The mental picture of what Sunline had to go through is beyond all bearing. I can only agree with you.

RIP Sunline

Terribly unfiar that such a champion should suffer so. Life is a bitch sometimes indeed. Really hard decision to put down something so special, but I agree she should have been let to go a few months ago. Of course we do not have all the inside info, and she does not belong to us. I just hate the suffering and this disease is so f'n hard to overcome.

She was a fabulous racehorse and it's a shame that the memory of her will be clouded by the suffering for her connections, sad to be mourning one so wonderful rather than celebrating her.
