Champion galloper Mummify who ran third in yesterday's Group One $2.5 million Caulfield Cup, was put down this morning.

Veterinarians were unable to save the 6yo after he broke down in his near fore fetlock when pulling up after yesterday's race.

He was laid to rest at Rye alongside another former Freedman trained champion - Schillaci.

Mummify won nine times - five at Group One level- and died as as of the top ten stakes earners of all time in Australia.
