Absolute low life. Hope they catch the culprit and throw the book at them.
Legal / financial issues aside, the foal looked like it was very well cared for.

However, going by the photos, the splints have not been changed or made correctly, and would be doing more harm than good. Done correctly, yes, the old way of the pipe would be fine.

CCTV CLUE TO DEAD FOAL?November 15, 2018 11:20 am Carrum Downs
police are poring over CCTV footage in a bid to solve the mystery of
the crippled foal found dead from apparent foul play.
It was revealed yesterday that a crippled thoroughbred foal owned
by suspended trainer Nathan McPherson had disappeared then been found
dead.
A police source from the station told “Unbridled” that the foal had
been discovered not on a neighboring property, as first suggested, but
in a feed trough in one of McPherson’s paddocks.
A number of security cameras are set up on the property and Carrum Downs police are sifting through three days of footage.
The foal had been crippled from birth and its legs fastened to PVC
piping in a bid to straighten them out. McPherson slept in a tent in the
paddock to be close to the foal, who required human assistance to eat
and drink.
The police source said the foal had become a much loved pet. “It’s
pretty heart-breaking in that sense,” he said, adding the PVC splint had
been removed, suggesting foul play.
McPherson was suspended for two months on October 2 after one of his horses tested positive to cocaine.
The police source said the investigation into the deal foal would
“take in a number of factors” but he said the CCT footage might prove
most valuable.

who cares what the ins and outs are, of this disgusting act. i have no idea what you are on about. nothing at all about your strange add on about cocaine. you obvioulsy have an axe to grind. But not sure where it fits in to this story. BUT. Any low life that could do that to a foal is one sad and sorry low life. You got an axe to grind, take it out on the person. Go do that to an animal you are beyond low.

The trainer is serving time for giving cocaine to his horses. I’d say sowong’s point is if the trainer is prepared to do that to his stock, he’s prepared to do anything. Desperate times call for desperate measures.

If he didnt care the foal would not have had the splints applied , would of just read foal died at birth like thousands of entries in stud book , assumptions do not lead to the facts . Lets see how this plays out , hopefully the foal gets justice or karma steps in .

I thought the same thing until I read that “McPherson slept in a tent in the paddock to be close to the foal, who required human assistance to eat and drink.” Doesn’t sound like someone who doesn’t care |

Is this the same guy who did jail time for traffic offences or is that another trainer with the same name?

Could it have been a mercy killing? By someone else

You have no idea what I'm on about? If you read the article about the foal you care so much about you would know the same trainer is currently serving a 2 month ban for giving his horse cocaine, and I was simply asking the question how that is possible. The guy should be banned for life. I was adding onto the discussion, suggesting his suspension was too weak, and if he could give the horses under his care cocaine, then it wouldn't be too far of a stretch to assume he had a hand in killing this foal. Not sure what grinding an axe has to do with anything though.

OK, I get it now, but to be honest I have never heard of him before ! Yes I can see whats being inferred now. So why has he done this to his own foal and then made a song and dance about it ? If he did ? So much speculation and different theories flying around its got me bemused.

Sorry , but never heard of him and had no idea about his coke suspension !! Just went looking and re read about him. Its amazing how many theories are making the rounds about all of this ! Its too convoluted for me to work out who has done what. Or why . I do agree with you about only 2 months !! Thats absurd .

Pretty sure it was Banker? About a stallion whose foals were born deformed (missing ears, or tails, legs etc), as the mare were fed excess selenium when in foal, stallion himself was fine, but it was all done to make the stud want to sell the stallion for way less then he was worth to the guy doing the poisoning (cause he wanted the stud - miracle man - fraud)

Yes it was Banker. The hero of the piece was the Merchant Banker who approved the studs loan to buy the stallion. Though I think the bad guy turned out to be a crazed naturopath type . He was big celebrity and used to save animals that the Vets had given up on with his magic herbs. Hero Banker discovered he was making the animals sick in the first place in order to publicly cure them and be a big hero. And famous .

Fun fact, many believe that the books were written by Mrs Dick Francis,and they used his profile to generate interest in the early books.

I wonder if it's true? Dick Francis was the Queen Mothers jockey and Im pretty sure he was riding her horse that famously baulked in the home straight of the Grand National . The horse was miles in front and threw the race away. The Queen Mum must have forgiven him though because she was a big patron of him and his books. But hard on his wife though if she actually wrote them!
