Barry Bowditch, managing director of Magic Millions, has expressed his sorrow over the truck crash that killed five mares purchased from the Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale at the Gold Coast last week.
The horses, who are yet to be identified, were making their way to the Hunter from Queensland by float before the vehicle crashed.
it was extremely upsetting news yesterday morning (hearing that) the truck coming back from the sales had an accident, five mares lost their lives,” he said. The drivers are in a critical yet stable condition and our thoughts go out to the mare owners, the guys who sold those mares, the truck company and the truck drivers involved.
