Agreed Moe with everything you say which just about mirrors my Saturdays watching jump racing. Poor Thistle Ask a horse in a million.😢 Of course these tragedies play out on the flat but thankfully not so often. On Craven Day I was shocked to see poor My Mate Alfie being attended to at the winning post.
The horse ambulance collected him and he walked on but oh so sad..he didn’t make it. Needless to say it threw a black cloud over the day I couldn’t stop thinking about him. 
Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...
