Derby hero High Chaparral put down

High Chaparral, winner of both the 2002 Irish and English Derby, has been put down at Fethard Equine Hospital in Tipperary, aged 15.

A tweet from Coolmore Stud said horse was put down "during exploratory colic surgery due to a perforated intestine."

Trained by Aidan O'Brien, the son of Sadler's Wells proved two lengths too strong for 9-4 favourite and stablemate Hawk Wing at Epsom, being ridden to glory by Johnny Murtagh.

Mick Kinane elected to partner Hawk Wing at Epsom but was back on board for the Irish Derby at the Curragh, where High Chaparral was an easy winner from Sholokhov, leading home a 1-2-3 for Ballydoyle.

He did not run again until the Arc at Longchamp, in which he was third to Marienbard, and enjoyed further glory when travelling to Arlington Park in Chicago for the Breeders' Cup Turf.

O'Brien's star returned as a four-year-old, beating Falbrav in the Irish Champion Stakes, again finishing third in Arc, this time to Dalakhani, and then dead-heating with Johar in a pulsating Breeders' Cup Turf.

In total he won 10 of 13 career starts, earning almost £3.5million in win and place prize money.
