Died in the Palace House Stakes.
It is believed he suffered a heart attack before falling.
He was a good sprinter.
I didn’t realise it was a heart attack. It looked horrible. Condolences to connections, as always.
I must admit the way he fell it did look like a break and there is a possibility he may well have sustained a break as he was falling.
However the initial vets report is saying it was a heart attack.
Whatever it ultimately was it is something you never ever want to see.
I didn’t think it was a break when he first went wrong- we got to watch it several times (thank you channel 4
) and from seeing it over I wondered if something in his pelvis or back had gone as he just lost all coordination before collapse. Heart attack makes sense, hopefully he wasn’t aware of much after it happened, but absolutely horrible to see. Poor fellow, sympathies to connections.
