    Fatal fall at Worcester today. Seems to have been around for years and was 6th in a Triumph Hurdle back in the day. He’s been at Robert Stephens’ yard since 2015. They must be devastated.

    He took off too early and landed right on the French style hurdle. Not really a chance to survive, as he could only move his had. That was the last thing the TV pictures had shown of him.
    A very sad end for a former winner of the Adonis…..
    May he rest in peace, though I’ve written this sentence way too many times in the past 3-4 months.

    Poor Beltor. I think the breeder or his family owned him for most of his life, although I’m not certain.

    Ridiculous number of horses dying lately – maybe it’s just perception but there seems to have been a huge number the last few months.

    I don’t think it’s our imagination Bonanzaboy. Question is, why isn’t there an investigation? I wouldn’t include poor Beltor’s death as it was obviously a bad fall (thankfully I didn’t see the race) but the number of horses breaking down on the flat really does raise some serious questions
