Mr Roger bled from his lungs so badly whilst being raced he can be seen bleeding through his nose on the racetrack.
Almost all horses experience some degree of exercise-induced pulmonary haemorrhage (EIPH) whilst being used to race, due to being pushed so hard. Studies indicate only 1% show visible signs of EIPH through frank epitaxis.
548 horses were reported to have bled from the nose in the last racing year, meaning a horse suffers a bleed like this on Australian racetracks every 1-2 days.
EIPH can be deadly for horses and most often goes unnoticed at the racetrack.
