Racing world in shock after Melbourne Cup winner Verry Elleegant dies while giving birth

The horse racing world is in shock after the tragic death of Melbourne Cup winner Verry Elleegant. Owners announced the champion horse died after suffering complications while giving birth in Ireland. Her foal also died. “It is incredibly sad that we pass on the news on behalf of the ownership group that Verry Elleegant has passed away due to complications giving birth to her foal,” Chris Waller Racing announced on Monday.

“She gave us the most joy, from a racing aspect, of all time. “She’s died giving birth. They were trying to save her but that hasn’t worked out. Unfortunately the foal has passed away too.” Brae Sokolski, another part owner, was shattered by the news. “It’s a cliche but she really did feel like part of the family,” he said on SEN. “I was so looking forward to, not just this foal, but the generations ahead of her progeny. That legacy you get from breeding with a champion is all lost.
