An exert from the Sunday Times here in Perth:
Shattered trainer Lee Freedman ran from the mounting yard, insisting that vets try to save the horse at a nearby veterinary hospital.
Freedman, his wife Janelle, Nikolic and owner John O'Neill wept at the sight of the iron horse in distress.
"He'll never race again, but I just want to save him and to take him home," Freedman said.
