Jimmy; Australia’s most expensive and controversial young thoroughbred has lost his battle with the crippling foot injury laminitis and was euthanased on Sunday. The $5 million half-brother of world champion horse Black Caviar spent the last two months at the University of Melbourne Equine Centre at Werribee where some of veterinary surgeons tried to fight the foot disease. The young horse has been the talking point of Australia ever since he was purchased for $5 million by Bill Vlahos last April, however, the owner failed to pay for the horse.
