What a shame, lovely horse; quite obvious not race fit but jockey kept pushing despite the signals, the horses’ tail was up for quite a while, a sign that something was not right.
Too many horses are not pulled up when it is clear that they are struggling? It is not good to watch and horse welfare should be the main consideration.
Pull up and come back to fight another dayI wonder if any jockeys/trainers etc read this and other forums. According to racing pundits racehorses are ‘treated like royalty’ but they seem to be kidding themselves, although obviously some horses are very well treated, both during and after their careers.
I’ve contacted several trainers, some very big names, to try to find out what’s happened to horses I follow and it’s very sad to know that very few answer. I’d rather be told what’s happened to the horse than always wonder.
