Kentucky Derby longshot Wild On Ice has been put down after suffering a training accident in preparation for the US Classic.
The runner from New Mexico sustained a hind leg injury following a five furlong workout at Churchill Downs on Thursday morning and was subsequently euthanised at an equine hospital.
The gelding was set to be ridden in the first leg of the US Triple Crown a week on Saturday by 60-year-old Ken Tohill, who was to become the oldest jockey to ride in the race.
