Lucky Chance dead
'Lucky Chance, one of the more exciting' Canterbury two-year-olds, has been put down after contracting a terminal virus. The virus, yet to be identified; lowered the youngster’s condition to such an extent, thaf he was destroyed after a 48-hour battle to save him. The Takearisk-Miss Mode colt showed such promise in only three race-day . starts that it had been planned to campaign him, along with
his stablemates Scotch Mist and Brutus, in Australia in the spring. Lucky Chance was a close and game second at his debut in Nelson in March and appeared six days later at the same meeting to head the talented northern youngster Easter Parade. At his only other start, in the Champagne Stakes at Riccarton, he finished seventh when affected 05' shin-soreness. ,
