Quorto suffers fatal injury

Quorto, winner of the G1 National Stakes in 2018, sadly suffered a fatal injury during routine work at Moulton Paddocks on Thursday, 9 July.

Quorto was unbeaten in three starts at two, winning on his debut at Newmarket’s July course in June before returning to the same course the following month to take the G2 Superlative Stakes, then rounding off his campaign with a superb victory at the Curragh.

His trainer Charlie Appleby said, “Quorto was a very talented colt who was absolutely brilliant when winning the National Stakes.

“It is a great shame that we did not get to see him on the racecourse again and he will be sorely missed by all the team at Moulton Paddocks.”
