Singapore Airlines International Cup
On May 15, 2005, at age seven, Star Over The Bay fractured his right foreleg (sesamoid). He was near the front of the field at the half mile pole in the Grade I US$1.8 million (SGD $3 million) Singapore Airlines International Cup at Kranji Racecourse when he broke down. He was humanely euthanized on the track. Mitchell said: ""I saw Tyler pulling him up and didn't realize how bad it was until he came back crying. If I could have just brought him back and retired him, I would feel so much better."
