Equine heart research delivers Newmarket hope for cardiologist

Dr Adam Gay is a cardiologist. His private rooms have been inundated with heart check-up bookings since Shane Warne's death. Dr Gay bred a horse by a stallion he bought because he was dabbling in equine heart research. The horse will run in the Group 1 Newmarket Handicap at Flemington on Saturday.

Dr Adam Gay is a cardiologist who is interested in horses. He bought a Snitzel Colt from the 2012 Easter Yearling sale for $230,000. The horse became Shamus Award. Shams Award won the Cox Plate. Gay, Glen Barker and Sean Priestley were the owner’s reps on the day. They were gifted a breeding right to the unproven stallion. They are expected to earn $50,00. Incentivise, Mr Quickie, Duais and co. are the other investors. It is estimated that the stallions will earn up to $33,500.

Dr Alan Gay owns a number of horses. He has a good record with his horses, including Right of Refusal, Textn’ Hurley, Supido, Oscar Zulu and Nesbo. His next horse is Swats That, which is going to the Newmarket on Saturday. He also owns the Royal Ascot dream. It is a family affair. The horses are trained by him. They are good on and off the track. Their heart works like a human heart. Mr Gay has his own business consulting on horses' heart function. There are some sceptics about it.
