wetlands bows to the inevitable

obviously the commentator missed the 1st 8 or so

lets hope hes okay

Didn't look good, wonder if the delay is to do with this, hope he survives

How does a horse go from a hat trick to not being able to jump? You can't trust anything in jumps.

By the pressure of competition and the fact that not all races are under the same conditions, that's how, they aren't machines Daze

Was he OK in the end?

Sadly not good news

That's very sad, they needed a good young horse.

R.I.P

shud neva hav run it on that ground today - sad demise for a promising young horse

Christ that is awful news - he was just about the most exciting northern trained novice chase prospect for next season. I just wonder how close they came to withdrawing him and Marown, himself a fine prospect for the valuable staying handicap chases next season. The yard are generally ultra careful about running horses in unsuitable conditions and you just wondered whether they considered it had dried out too much. I guess in these circumstances Trevor Hemmings racing manager Michael Meagher would have the final say.

was he the one still being treated on the track as the next race was being run .. very unusual

he was Dr Bannister

Sad occurrence , but in the cold light of day , the original poster is spot on , it could have fallen at numerous hurdles .
