Heart attack claims Tassie star Banca Mo

Melbourne

Thursday 17 September 2015, 2:15pm

Well-performed Tasmanian galloper Banca Mo has died of a suspected heart attack.

Racing Victoria stewards confirmed the Scott Brunton-trained Banca Mo, a Mornington and Warrnambool Cup winner, died on Thursday morning at Cranbourne.

Banca Mo cost just $2000 and earned more than $800,000 prizemoney during his career.

The gelding's Mornington Cup win had earned him a ballot exemption into this year's $3 million Caulfield Cup.

The eight-year-old was entered for Saturday's MRC Foundation Cup at Caulfield.

Banca Mo made his debut with a win at Hobart in May, 2011 and notched 12 wins from his 37 starts.
