UPDATES – Real Relief
July 13th, 2024
Status – It’s with real sadness we announce the passing of our 3yo gelding REAL RELIEF. He tragically injured himself during track work on Saturday, and despite numerous scans and consultations, we were unable to provide him with a solution that would give him the quality of life he deserved, and he was humanely euthanized. We send our condolences and thoughts to his trainer Heather Adamson and her team, as well as the Hollywood Syndicate team. We gained this gelding off the BSA February Online Auction, and he was recently coming into his own under his trainer’s tutelage. His penultimate run saw him run a good 3rd, and he then followed that up with a cracking win at Turffontein over 1800m, when opening in the betting at 16/1! We are extremely heart broken, and we will miss him. Hollywood Syndicate Team.
