Hard to believe the setbacks that the Mullins yard has had in the last 6 weeks or so. one year you are winning every significant race in the calendar and the next you are struggling to find anything to run. Not a single Mullins runner at Down Royal yesterday.
Vautour is a very sad loss. |
|
By:
Desperate news. Really sad.
|
|
By:
Broke his leg in his paddock, what a star he was, this bloody game.
Thanks for the memories. |
|
By:
He looked like he would have won the Gold Cup to me when he won the Ryanair effortlessly.
|
|
By:
Certainly would on good ground.
I was already looking forward to seeing him at Cheltenham for the 4th festival in a row, such a shame we dont get to see what he could had achieved. |
|
By:
F*cking hell. Just got in and heard this. Gutted. My favourite horse in training.
Such a shame. |
|
By:
wow, that is shocking news! RIP Vautour. It does really show that you should seize the day as much as possible.
Makes the achievements of horses such as Kauto Star & Frankel even more remarkable. |

The racing world is a poorer place tonight. Desperately sad news one of the stars of the National Hunt season and will be sorely missed by many. Condolences to everyone involved with the horse. Run Free Vautour RIP.
