Very sad particularly as it wasn’t his fault at all – Knowhere guessed and took off too soon and the two behind had nowhere to go. In the wrong place at the wrong time. So sorry for you poor boy. RIP.
When they announced that Knowhere had died (in error,) I thought he’d taken his last chance with a fence. Shame for all involved as there had only been General Miller’s fall before that in the previous 2 races.
Actually I think General Miller was a UR. Thankfully not many falls today – fingers crossed for rest of the festival. There was another bad fall in Casey’s race and the horse (Bensalem I think) ended up on the wrong side of the barrier – luckily was OK.

The other fall was Bensalem at the end of the race, 2nd or 3rd from home…
While I am pleased that the ground is good as it bodes well for Kauto’s chances come Friday, I am uneasily aware that the faster it gets tht worse it is for serious injuries and fatalities. Here’s hoping the future runners come back safe.
Terrible thing to happen, poor little horse, wrong place at the wrong time. I hate to say it, but I doubt he will be the only one to lose his life at the Festival – I pray I am wrong.
