Star of Universe is a unique racehorse who has been forced to compete in 179 races in New South Wales Australia. This horse must be retired because he is suffering now from osteo-arthritis of the fetlock joints and is likely to suffer from a serious musculo-skeletal injury if he is allowed to keep on racing.
Dear Peter V'landys
Star of Universe must be retired. He has served your industry for far too long and to allow him to keep racing is to sustain his suffering and increase his likelihood of suffering a severe musculo-skeletal injury.
Please use your authority to refuse this horse any further nominations for racing in New South Wales or the rest of Australia.
Sincerely,
