Tasmanian racing has been dealt a devastating blow following the euthanasia of popular gelding, The Inevitable, after suffering a severe injury during the Listed Hellova Street Stakes (1600m) on Launceston Cup Day.
The nine-year-old son of Dundeel had been a consistent performer throughout his career, earning a loyal following for his competitive spirit and remarkable victories.
The Inevitable was looking to add another victory in what was supposed to be his fond farewell to Tasmanian racing but was tragically injured during the race.
Upon assessment by veterinary staff, it was discovered that the injury was far more severe than anticipated. Despite all efforts to treat him, the injury was deemed too great for The Inevitable to recover from.
With heavy hearts, connections made the decision to euthanise the horse, whose achievements on the track had won him not only accolades but the admiration of all who watched him race.
The Inevitable recorded 18 wins from 44 career starts and had won connections over $2 million in prizemoney.
The Inevitable had etched his name in Tasmania’s racing history with memorable victories and a never-say-die attitude.
His tragic passing has left a deep void, with tributes pouring in from across the racing community.
