Admire Rakti

Admire Rakti the 2014 Caulfield Cup winner and champion racehorse from Japan
As favourite for the Melbourne Cup finished as an also ran
Behind Perfectionist the winner from Germany he finished in last place
And more devastating for his connections he collapsed and died just minutes after the race

For the connections of the seven year old stallion who had often given them cause to celebrate
The financial loss in a promising stud career of their famous stallion to them is great
But then such is life as the more pragmatic do say
And life has it's good days and bad days for life is this way

As a two mile racehorse Admire Rakti was in a class of his own
By fans of thoroughbred horse racing Worldwide he was known
After Australia's biggest race at Flemington he collapsed and died
And news of his death has become news Worldwide

A massive heart attack was the cause of his sudden death as the post mortem did tell
He was running second and suddenly dropped back the field obviously all with him not well
He died after the Melbourne Cup on the Flemington track in the November sun
The champion horse from Japan his last race had run.
