Champion galloper Northerly has died after a colic attack in his retirement paddock at Busselton. He was 15.

The gelding, who is recognised as WA's greatest racehorse, earned stakes totalling $9.3 million.

He won two Cox Plates, two Australian Cups and a Caulfield Cup for trainer Fred Kersley from 2001-03.

In 2003 he was crowned Australian Horse Of The Year and was later elected to the Australian Racing Hall Of Fame.

Not a good week, Vo Rogue also passed away, aged 28

Northerly, The Fighting Tiger!

Great memories, enjoy:
