SOMETIME SOON.....Gordon Elliott-trained fell 3 out.

Good news CCM. If it was the big fences that wrecked his jumping, River Wylde is a bet next time on a different course as he still had a good chance when falling. Nicky needs to stiffen up his schooling fences before running any more at Haydock.

Been hit with an 8lb hike unfortunately and up to 151 now. Annoying for the owners when he hasn’t won!

Delusionofgranduer didn't make it after his fall at Haydock on Saturday.

That is a bit steep CCM. River Wylde has been an unlucky horse to win so little for such a high rating. £57k may seem quite a lot but that is in 3 seasons and he is now on 150.

BLEU ET ROUGE.....A great afternoon for JP McManus tinged with sadness with the news that Bleu Et Rouge suffered a fatal fall in Fighting Fifth at Newcastle! (Buveur D'air won).
Ben Haslam Racing - "We are devastated to have lost Bleu Et Rouge in the Fighting Fifth today (First Grade 1 runner!). He was a gorgeous gentleman of a horse who will be hugely missed by our team at home as well as by the Willie Mullins yard who did so well with him. Thoughts are with owner JP McManus". Sad too for Niall Kelly Conditional jockey (for WP Mullins) who rode him for such a long time.  |

By:
"MALONE ROAD.....has had a setback," said Elliott. "He has a knee injury. It's not career-threatening, but if we can get him back for Cheltenham or Punchestown this season that would be it. While the injury is not career-threatening at least, trainer Gordon Elliott admits it will be a race against time to get the exciting four-year-old back for this season's spring meetings.

WICKLOW BRAVE - the 10yo was on the verge of recording an 18th career victory, when he took a fatal fall at the last with the race at his mercy, in the American Grand National at Far Hills on Saturday. A winner of 17 of his 59 races, he won the Irish St Leger under Frankie Dettori in 2016, the 2015 County Hurdle and the 2017 Punchestown Champion Hurdle in a remarkable career.

TIGER ROLL
Two-time Grand National hero Tiger Roll has suffered a setback and will have a small chip taken out of a joint on Friday. Eddie O’Leary said: ‘’It will rule him out of Christmas, but we hope to make the Boyne Hurdle at Navan. If not, it will be straight to Cheltenham.’’ |

Western Ryder dismounted immediately after winning a good novice chase at Ludlow. Any more news?
|

By:
Sadly he fractured a bone and is out for thew season. Did it jumping three out apparently, which makes it even more remarkable he won the race.

By:
BUVEUR D'AIR......following his defeat by Cornerstone Lad on Saturday - hit the second-last flight and had a splinter of wood in the lower section of his off-fore. OFTS. "It is very serious and I hope it's not career-threatening" - Nicky.

We must remember Beer Goggles losing his life at Newbury an end to a very sad story.
Grazeon Ray died at Newcastle on his first NH run I might add Dandy Highwayman not a NH horse but a genuine handicapper who died after work 2 weeks today. |
