thought he was a goner for sure.. what a warrior
|
|
By:
it was once he fell and just as he was trying to get up ,ballycasey ran straight into his hind quarter's as he was side ways getting up ,it looked bad ,but great if use's say he got up
|
|
By:
So will you be betting or watching it again now Rich Boy?
|
|
By:
Still being assessed according to RUK
|
|
By:
He is still being assessed
|
|
By:
gd question, but i cant make a statement like that and change just because the horse somehow luckily survived. I cant i didn't enjoy it. i was on edge of my seat in a bad way, i love my horse racing. That canal turn has always been extremely dangerous. I have to stick to my statement that i can not support the race any further
|
|
By:
Possibly not out of the woods yet; Richard Hoiles just reported BK is *still* on the course being assessed by vets.
|
|
By:
ill go mad and complain to channel 4 if they've said he's ok when he's not.
|
|
By:
An obvious publicly stunt if thats the case
|
|
By:
Eye it moves us all. Lot of **** and vitriol on here but clear we all love our horses. Couldn't agree with you more best news of the day by far. Hip hip hurrah.
|
|
By:
Now I read that he has a couple of broken ribs but is ok
|
|
By:
publicity stunt? it's madness in winners enclosure after Nash..they're doing live tv..they may have been premature in saying he was ok when he was only upright but publicity stunt is ridiculous
|
|
By:
Broken ribs can be allowed to heal. Broken legs cannot! Let's hope that the horse is fine.
|
|
By:
we'll take a broken rib or 2..i've had them..good old Balthazar
|

By:
They first reported he was up and being assessed; they then further reported he was still on the course being assessed. They didn't have to add the update if it was just about spin. I think when it was said he was up, the not-unnatural assumption would be that he was fine, had just been winded by Ballycasey hitting him and that he would walk away. Clearly it's proving not to be as straightforward as that, but I doubt there was any deliberate intention to mislead. Fingers crossed he is truly okay.
