Verry Elleegant – October 2018
The sad news of the death of Verry Elleegant was released yesterday.
She died of complications while giving birth to her first foal in Europe.
It was on a rare occasion that she raced in Melbourne, most of her illustrious career being in Sydney under the care of Chris Waller.
She won 11 Group 1 races and I only saw her in the flesh during her three year old year when she was trained by Darren Weir. After that the Covid outbreak prevented attendance at the races for several years.
So the only photos I have of her are from 2018, when she was three, though I did watch her Sydney races on my computer or on the big screen if I was at the races.
Alas, her foal was unable to be saved, so we will not have the pleasure of watching her children on the track in the future.
She was great race mare who will be sadly missed by all race fans.
