Muakaad breaks leg on gallops

The Dermot Weld trained Muakaad, a smart four-year-old owned by Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum, has been put down, it was revealed today.

The four-year-old colt broke a leg on the gallops three weeks ago.

'He fractured his leg very badly and they couldn`t do anything to save him, sadly,' Sheikh Hamdan`s racing manager Angus Gold said today.

'Very sad, he was a decent horse.'

The home-bred son of Muhtarram`s last race ended with victory in the Listed Kilternan Stakes at Leopardstown in September.

He had earlier lifted the Group Three Meld Stakes at the Curragh in July and finished sixth to Silvano in the Arlington Million in Chicago a month later.
