Azzie continued: “People don’t understand what this horse went through to win the Triple Crown. We endured 63 days of hell. He broke a hoof to pieces before the SA Classic and we received threats the day before he won that race that he ‘wouldn’t make it to the SA Derby’.
“So we had to tighten up security in the stables. We’ve got cameras in all my barns, but Abashiri has one in his stable, which means I can check on him around the clock if necessary. Between the SA Classic and SA Derby he had two dedicated security guards at all times.”
