7 years graft - over £2 million
Such a shame |
|
By:
One too much dance, should have been retired when it's form started tailing off last few yrs , what shame to such a brace horse
|
|
By:
Yep awful to see.....hope a miracle happens
|
|
By:
Must be awful for the jockey when that happens.
So sad for everyone. |
|
By:
Cruel twist of fate that the horse who has had so much of his career defined by the trainer preserving him against fast ground succombs in this way.
|
|
By:
Looked bad, hope for good news, likely a very sad end for a great horse over the years.
|
|
By:
Tragic. Hollie will be emotional. She associates the horse with her mother and her illness/operation/recovery.
|

By:
Common sense should come into play at some stage, I remember oliver sherwood had good chaser in hemmings colours , during latter end of career it used to get wobbles after race from exhaustion and get oxygen but still tye clown sherwood kept running and eventually killed it , tye oxygen didn't work in end and he collapsed and died , greed is awful thing and these trainers like sherwood would give u guff he loves it etc blah blah but someone has to call it as it is , the acid test would be if it was human being, would u keep continuing

Can't get over critical guys , forums have hindsight but connections don't.

under std 1st race amazed king run him after his history
|
|
By:
For me was never the same horse after it carried that huge weight on the all weather, should have been retired long ago
|

By:
Very sad ,just unlucky the stable have done nothing wrong.

Won GP races since Newcastle.Shame but no one could see that happening.
|
|
By:
for a horse who has wanted jumping ground his whole career to run him on time-based g/f flat ground is crackers imo
probably his last year in training anyway even w/o what happened today v sad been a smashing horse |
|
By:
Has.

Put down. RIP

It the price we all pay (humans and horses) for watching this amazing sport.....unfortunately Trueshan has paid the ultimate price
|
|
By:
I’m aware P he’d won 11 before Newcastle 12 then, but 4 after, just my view that winning that race wasn’t a good thing for him.
Sad outcome for him. As for the ground it’s been said there’s an ease. |
|
By:
Remember backing him when won on AW and was a lesser known rag in the race, Hollie Doyle rode, and it got me out of a hole at that time with that win. Sad day
|
|
By:
The horse has just been very unlucky.
|
|
By:
declaring and pulling out at last min finally caught up with them,the showers/general feel of day,not the times,tempted them in to running as they were already there
|
|
By:
Taking a cynical view, connections probably factoring his age and deterioration in form into the decision to run him on faster ground. I guess it proved Alan King was right in withdrawing the horse over the years whenever the ground was unfavourable.
|
|
By:
It can happen in a field as we know but sometimes the owners have to know when to call it day. As Cooper said she was sorry that she’d ran Sweet William in the Gold Cup and put him through that. Admitted they knew he’d not like the distance.
|
|
By:
He’s left it well late to declare a non runner many times in the past.
|
|
By:
Injury could have happened at home, however still very very very sad. Poor Hollie as well, from joy to despair. Trueshan a true warrior and stalwart of recent times. RIP.
|
|
By:
I can't think of a worse sight in racing. It never fails to make me gasp.
You have to genuinely feel for the poor horse, and those involved that most likely absolutely adored him. A crying shame |
|
By:
And the stable lads and lasses who go home without one.
|
|
By:
True Dela. All involved will be in pieces tonight. These stable lads and lasses are incredible.
|
|
By:
i remember that sherwood horse keeling over. if its true it regularly had the wobbles after a race then it should have been taken out of the trainers hands
rip trueshan |

Many Clouds?
|
|
By:
Mitolo off course it's true u can research it and when it died, sherwood gave up the guff that it loved game blah blah, they had to have oxygen ready for it after each race , horse should be retired as old enough too , sherwood Is first class clown anyway lost any bit of respect for him after that
|
|
By:
Yes many clouds I think

I had the pleasure of visiting Rhonehurst 3 times. On two of those occasions Sherwood took myself and my Mrs up to the gallops in his jeep. Very surreal sitting with a legend of the game chatting away, and he never came across as hurried. They have a tree planted for Many Clouds which is visible from the gallops....Sherwood adored him. A gem of a man. Asked if I could contribute to the stable for his time and he asked that I make a contribution to the IJF. All class.
I hope he is well actually. Not heard much about him since he joined Derhams. |
