"Kamsky", was pre-terminated due to unsoundness and

• 1 Dec 2008 –
TOAST Trust No. 10 has been pre-terminated. The mare,
“Xenolith Gold”, was put down on veterinary grounds.
Xenolith Gold had been so lightly-raced
because she had a knee chip which required surgery before she
had even faced the starter. TOAST
has been very patient with her as it took her nearly 14 months
after her arrival in Singapore to make her debut back in Apr
2008. She was a
good mare that had her first maiden success after six starts.
