Evidently unruly at the start of the 1435 at Cartmel today and somehow injured a leg in doing so. Pulled up before the 1st, fatally injured. RIP.
Didn’t see the incident at the start, but why wasn’t the horse checked before the off. Though I think it broke down after running about a furlong or so. Maybe it was just the ground.
Very sad indeed and it yet again another break not jumping related.Evidently unruly at the start of the 1435 at Cartmel today and somehow injured a leg in doing so. Pulled up before the 1st, fatally injured. RIP.
He was apparently kicked by another horse just below the knee, this was no doubt the cause.
Couldn’t see much on RUK’s racing replay on the website, but he seemed to be favouring a leg almost straight from the start so if he had been kicked that would explain it. Jockey noticed quickly that something was wrong and pulled him up, but unfortunately the damage was already done by then.
How sad that a lot of these injuries happen whilst the horse is not racing, even at home in their fields or on the gallops, their little legs are so fragile…RIP Broadway Star
such a shame.Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...If they knew he had been kicked, whatever were they thinking of letting him race without a vet check? It was probably a tiny hairline crack that could have healed, but they made him run on it, poor lad. RIP
such a shame.
