I am heartbroken – I’ve struggled all day worrying about his participation and trying to understand WHY he was in the race … I wanted him pulled up way before the end and let him come into the paddock for recognition of ALL his achievements (8 times at the festival – is that a record?) … YES he should have been there at Cheltenham 2026 but in a presentation parade round the paddock … now the worst has happened … I know hindsight is a wonderful thing and no doubt all concerned with this decision are distraught … He was such a talented and handsome horse and he deserved to enjoy apples/carrots/polos whatever was his favourite for many years to come …
RIP ENVOI ALLEN
