Moyne
Rebel sustained a career-ending injury
in the second round of the Derby on
Saturday night and he has run his last
race. It came as no surprise to learn
the dog had been injured after watching
him in action. He broke slowly, then
sprawled and never appeared to be
striding out properly again. He
fractured a vertebrae, and in my opinion
it probably happened in the boxes, said
a vet. Irelands Greyhound Weekly
