GSW and MG1SP Kachy (GB) (Kyllachy {GB}–Dubai Bounty {GB}, by Dubai Destination), raced by Dave Lowe, suffered a fatal injury at Lingfield on Saturday.
Tom Dascombe's speedster was lining up in Saturday's Heed Your Hunch At Betway H., after his planned appearance in the Listed Cleves S. two weeks ago was scuppered by a last-minute setback. After Kachy broke in his usual electric style, he took a false step as the race began in earnest and was swiftly pulled up by Richard Kingscote. The race was won by James Fanshawe's Harry's Bar (GB) (Exceed And Excel {Aus}). It was later announced the £52,000 Doncaster Premier yearling had been put down.
Lowe tweeted, “RIP big fella. You were our world and will be missed forever.”
A winner of nine of his 28 starts and with $643,623 in earnings, the Denniff Farms Ltd.-bred won the 2015 G3 Molecomb S., the 2018/19 editions of the Listed Cleves S. and was runner-up in the 2016 Commonwealth Cup. He was also third in both last year's G1 Diamond Jubilee S. and the 2018 G2 Temple S. Under his third dam is MGSW Beat the Bank (GB) (Paco Boy {Ire}).
Lingfield also paid tribute, tweeting, “We would like to offer our huge condolences to the connections of Kachy, who suffered a fatal injury in race three this afternoon. A true champion, he will live long in the memory of everyone at Lingfield Park.”
