Just watched replay, and whilst i just cant blame Nico for the injury, what were they thinking. The horse looked uncomfortable throughout. He just wanted to get on with his job and run.
I get tactics, have a go at new lion after last, but you dont need to restrain the quickest horse in training down to a doddle. Was an awful watch even before he pulled up.
Theres a couple of times before the injury he looks a little unbalanced, not like him at all.
Just hope he firstly makes a full recovery. Anything else is a bonus.
