The horse who went out in the middle of the Melbourne Cup – Aidan O & # 39; Brien – trained The Cliffsofmoher – was put to sleep.

Channel 7 confirmed a tweet from editor.com, Shane & # 39; and Anderson, who revealed that the five-year old suffered a shoulder fracture at the beginning of the race and "could not be saved".

Described as a "tragedy" by veteran Seven commentator Bruce & # 39; and McAvaney, the British invader stopped the lame when the field passed the end-point for the first time.

The vets rushed to the track as soon as the race was over, when a tarpaulin was set around the fallen visitor.

"Cliffsofmoher now melts like ice cream," said seven commentators Richard Freedman. "He really sweated badly."

It overshadowed the exciting Cross Counter victory, which saluted before Marmelo and Prince of Arran.
