An incident in the final race has marred Golden Slipper day at Rosehill after Kerrin McEvoy suffered a heavy fall when his mount Tintookie broke down rounding the home turn. Tintookie rolled several times after hitting the ground, with Racing NSW confirming the four-year-old mare had been euthanised after her injuries meant she was unable to be saved. McEvoy remained conscious and had a full range of movement but was taken to hospital for assessment.
McEvoy’s fall came at the end of what had been a mixed day for the popular three-time Melbourne Cup winner. After going within a head of winning the Golden Slipper when Coleman was narrowly denied by Lady of Camelot, he bounced back to claim the Group 1 The Galaxy aboard outsider Zapateo. McEvoy took that as a chance to issue a shoutout to his son Charlie, who had broken his wrist playing football on Saturday morning. “He’ll be flat as a tack but hopefully he’s on the mend,” he told Channel 7.
