Looked badly injured after he fell at the last in the 1.40 at Wexford. Must have injured a hind leg or so. But please correct me if I`m wrong. Which I hope to be.

Just watched the replay and he does get to his feet and gallops to the finish line looking fairly sound to me. We’ll have to wait for confirmation but I think and hope he may be okay

He did get up and run to the line, but he was running on three legs. His hind leg (with a white sock if I remember rightly) was not put to the ground. It has been reported that he was pts. RIP lad

Oh no!
He was running pretty well then as he had me fooled, replayed it a few times aswell to try and see if he was running awkwardly.
Thank you for the confirmation though.

RIP lad

Thanks for the (bad) news reetlass, but I think we both saw the same thing. I also noticed that the rider on the second Gigginstown horse was pretty concerned of what he saw when he passed the post and steered his mount towards the stricken horse.

Just watched it again on the PC as apposed to on the iPad and have now realised it was the bad quality of the iPad that had me fooled. His first race as well poor chap!
