Former harness racing star Bee Bee Cee put down at age 31
The decision to put him down was made in consultation with a veterinarian. The Calvert’s son, Michael, who is an assistant furneral director, arranged for a plaque, with Bee Bee Cee's name engraved on it, to be attached to a cross at the grave. A memorial tree will also be planted there. “It was Colin’s dream to have a horse good enough to start in the [NZ] Cup and the rest is history,” Jeane said. Soon after the Cup win the Calverts and Bee Bee Cee were on their way to Sydney for the prestigious Miracle Mile, in which he was a fast-finishing second.
