SUBZERO, one of the true legends of the turf, has died – aged 32.
The 1992 Melbourne Cup winner became an unparalleled ambassador for racing.
And much more, becoming loved by the residents of hundreds of aged care homes and schools, which he visited virtually every week following his retirement as a clerk of the course horse – his initial post-racing career.
No-one would be surprised if the famous grey – who was euthanased this afternoon with heart failure – died of a broken heart following the death just two months ago of his long-time carer and best mate Graham Salisbury, who had prostate cancer.
