Australian sprinter Wasted Emotions has been put down after breaking a leg in a Waikato trial.
Wasted Emotions had been transferred from Danny Williams to New Zealand trainer Tony Pike for a tilt at two Group One sprints, the Railway Handicap and the Telegraph Handicap, after winning at Randwick on November 28.
But he smashed a fetlock just after passing the post first in a barrier trial at Te Aroha on Tuesday and had to be destroyed shortly afterwards, the Waikato Times reported.
The Desert Prince seven-year-old won 11 of his 26 starts and nearly $550,000 for Williams who is based at Goulburn.
He was set to make his New Zealand debut in the Railway Handicap (1200m) at Ellerslie on New Year's Day.
After the Telegraph, he was scheduled to return to Williams to continue his career.
