Ms Funovits not nobbled
In an interview with RSN's Shane Anderson today, CEO of RWWA, Richard Burt has admitted that results back from the autopsy of Karrakatta Plate winner, Ms Funovits, showed she had a heart disease.
WA Racing came under the spotlight when Ms Funovits crashed and died before the Sires Produce Stakes, just two weeks after her impressive win in our premier two year old race. The owner was not accepting the result of accidental death, deciding to conduct his own tests to dertermine the cause of death.
It was a strange set of events leading up to the Sires, where connections employed security guards to watch Ms Funovits, days out from the race.
The implication was that she was nobbled and WA Racing copped the rap.
Burt's stunning admission puts those allegations to bed. Listen to the audio: http://www.rsn.net.au/audioplayer/1368152601.mp3

@Into It - I once took L-Carnatine. Worked a treat for keeping your weight down while maintaining muscle mass and didn't have a stimulant effect like other weight control supplements.

It was re-insured for an uprated sum, luckily however given that she was almost certainly likely to win more Group races and was given approval to mate Sumii's 'Delta Blues', she was worth a lot more than figure that alive.

No one likes losing a horse especially a quality animal like Ms F. If it were me I'm not sure a phone call from Perth Racing in the aftermath would really make much difference to the disappointment I would be feeling. In any event I am not sure why the trainer...
