With the $2.25 million Doncaster Handicap fast approaching, one of its greatest winners Super Impose has died at the age of 22 in Queensland.
The son of Imposing has been in retirement at Queensland's Glenlogan Park Stud where he was put down due to the infirmities of old age.
Super Impose was trained by Lee Freedman to win 20 of his 74 starts including nine Group One races and prizemoney of $5,659,290, which currently places him eighth among Australia's greatest stakeswinners.
They included two Doncaster Handicaps in 1990 and 1991 along with two Epsom Handicaps in the same years to make him one of the greatest milers ever to race at Randwick.
He also won the 1992 W.S. Cox Plate at Moonee Valley but Sydney got to see the best of him over several seasons as he also won two Ranvet Stakes and the Chipping Norton Stakes twice.
Super Impose has been at Glenlogan park for 10 years where he has been used as a "nanny" for weanlings.
He has been buried at the property with a tribute stone and plaque erected in his memory.
