“No doubt all concerned with this decision are distraught”.
Henry De Bromhead’s travelling head lass certainly was when she was interviewed after the last race on RTV. She was struggling to speak through her tears.
It is horrible to lose the horse. He had a superb career and lit up many days. But without wanting to sound like I am criticising anyone when emotions are understandably running high, I think we should try to avoid making implications that the horse should not have run or that it was somehow unfair on him. For all we know, people in the De Bromhead stable or from Cheveley Park may read this forum.
Let’s celebrate the horse’s life and achievements today.
