one of the horse's ran down my street (anderson, which is off glen eira). my brother was taking the dog out for a piss and he said it was 5 metres away from hitting him and then proceeded into crashing into a nearby wall. was put down 20 minutes after, it was very sad.

i know it was from the Lauriston stable, i saw the truck driving down the street

Horse killed as pair escape Moody stables 23 Oct 2006

By Greg Irvine

The frustrating run experienced by Caulfield trainer Peter Moody over recent weeks in Melbourne reached new lows on Sunday afternoon when two of his horses escaped from the stables resulting in one being tragically killed.

Wild Hope, a four-year-old daughter of top Cambridge Stud stallion Stravinsky, was destroyed after colliding with a stationary car and an eight foot high brick wall.

The drama took place at around 2pm when two horses from the Moody stable escaped from his Caulfield stables located adjacent to the track which on Saturday hosted its biggest raceday.

The pair escaped from the stables through an open gate and then fled from the racecourse where they raced down Glen Eira Road.

One of the two horses, whose identity was not disclosed, was captured by a local strapper at Hotham Road about three kilometres away.

The other horse, Wild Hope, collided with a car, whose driver was sitting in the vehicle but fortunately uninjured, before continuing on and crashing head on into a brick wall.

The four-year-old suffered severe head injuries and fractured a leg in the wall accident.

The mare was destroyed by a policeman on the directions of Moody and a veterinarian.

Moody was at Seymour where he saddled two winners including the Cup winner Thin and Crispy.

Wild Hope, a daughter of the Auckland Cup winner Royal Tiara, had raced on just two occasions for the Gurry family for two unplaced efforts at Geelong and Bendigo.

Who cares about the person in the car, I would be more concerned for the poor horses.
