LOVETHEHIGHERLAW, considered one of Ireland's brightest novice hurdling prospects, died on the gallops on Saturday morning.
Gigginstown House Stud's five-year-old won a point-to-point and two bumpers, includingat Grade 1 level at Punchestown in May under Patrick Mullins.
His father Willie, who trained Lovethehigherlaw, admitted that the loss was a heavy one.
"He was one of our stars I think and it's tough to take," he said.
"Obviously it was early days with him but he had done nothing other than to suggest he had a really good future over hurdles and fences."
Lovethehigherlaw was general 10-1 joint-favourite forthe Supreme Novices' Hurdle next March. He was bought for €115,000 out of Pat Doyle's yard last year.
