When you think of all the jumps races he survived and then on his first go on the flat this happens. RIP.

Why were they running a seasoned steeplechaser on the All Weather?

Presumably because Claret Cloak hated soft ground and they were trying to get a race in to him before another Cheltenham Festival run. Had been off the track 5 months so no doubt had some sort of problem since last season.
