McNair loses cancer battle

-

JOHN McNair, trainer of former top-line sprinter Hay List, died yesterday after a short battle with pancreatic cancer.

The NSW-based former West Australian was diagnosed with the disease a month ago.

Hay List had many famous battles with the legendary Black Caviar, finishing second to the champ four times.

Their battle in the 2011 Group 1 TJ Smith Stakes was their most famous day when Hay List shot out to a big lead only to be run down by the Hall of Famer late in race.
