last prices matched 1.01 & 100

I thought action seemed to change slightly around 1.5f out

poor horse ,

Probably the worst I have ever felt getting a winner Foyles, worse even than the Marco one at Windsor, would happily lose rather than see that tragic end.

Have they called a result yet? I didn't have a bet but I thought the faller had its nose over the line first and with no replays, there is no way to check. I wonder if they will void the race although the other connections might object.

didnt have a bet in it and just watching the last 2 or 3 furlongs for interest , horrible sight !

what has actually won?

Could we have the first ever dead winner of a race?

i thought the winner was wicked thoughts

me too ^^^

a little aside for the bookies  but brings a 4 timer up for nichols/cobbden,cost them a few £

Wicked Thoughts 1st past post but pay out will not happen until after Stewards, a sad sad end to the day.

Strange that the Racing Post have put Getagin as 2nd as the whole horse has to cross the finish line with the jockey.

WT has won, looks like mania hasn't touched the ground when horse slides over the line so that's probably 2nd with ellison horse 3rd
vile scenes

confirmed

& weighed in

Did he cross the line wonders? Couldn't bear to look again.

Must have if weighed in.

yes

slid over

Result posted now on RP and Wicked Thoughts won with Getagin awarded second. Very hard for the owners.

Didn't we lose Absolute Notions earlier also?

All things considered it has been a desperate weekend for the sport.

Yes, broke its leg. Competitive racing at Musselburgh but sad to see horses lost.

Don't know the rules, but the jockey and horse have definitely parted company 2yds before the line.

What is spooky is that the whole scenario played out exactly like Getagin's first win over the exact same course and distance.
Him leading on the rails in a gutsy finish, with two fancied horses going flat out, to go past him on the outside, less than a length behind.

nuther sublime aftertime from tobymugs

£350 bog again with baldfreds?

Not a word that I can find on the RP website about the incident, cause of death etc. Has the BHA issued a statement apart from confirming why the placings were as announced? Their Stewards report just says that as the jockey had not touched the ground, he retained second place. It would be nice to see a Vets report.

why do u need cause of death, the horse broke down isn't that enough?

Looked like a heart attack to me. It just collapsed on its side. If connections have asked for it to be kept private then fine but they usually issue a cause of death in similar circumstances. They could be awaiting a post mortem.

and does it matter?
