I'm Thunderstruck horse

Tragedy has struck for the connections of I'm Thunderstruck after their horse had to be euthanised after sustaining injuries in a post-surgery accident.

“You feel for all the staff, obviously our owners too, but the staff at Price Kent. “He’s been a horse that’s been remarkable for everybody involved. “He’s been a high-profile horse,” Henderson said. He disappointed in that race, and had appeared “on the way down” to co-trainer Mick Price, so the stable got an X-ray on the horse on Tuesday, which discovered a bone chip in his knee. “Hundreds of times and, in fact, after the operation it appeared everything was OK, but clearly the horse must have got up and put weight in such a manner that caused multiple fractures in the knee and as a result of that, John Russell had no choice but to put the horse down.” “The horse has been euthanised, and we’re all devastated,” Henderson told The Age.

The trainers and owners of I'm Thunderstruck are heartbroken following the shock loss of the multiple Group 1 winner I'm Thunderstruck.

"When you've got these good horses they become embedded in your life … [@OTIRacing]and the bosses [@MickPriceRacing]what a horrible loss. "The horse wasn't lame when we did the procedure … [March 30, 2023] "We have got a terrific group of owners in the horse and for some of them money is not the issue, but the love of the horse and experiences they get with a horse like this is something quite unique for them." "He seemed to stand up OK but they quickly realised he was severely lame and as a result of that they found he had multiple fractures in a knee, which wasn't the area (operated on), the surgery was actually on a fetlock," Henderson said.
