    Very sadly suffered a fatal injury when falling in the Gold Cup.

    Just shows the highs and lows of racing in the same race – the same owner won the race with his other horse.

    A really sad postscript to the race.

    So so sad … I think JP knew he’d was going to loose him when he was being interviewed. He ran a good race. RIP Corbetts Cross.

    No….😪 💔
    Was hoping he would be alright.
    I won’t be watching the race now.
    Such a sad day.
    RIP Beautiful Corbetts Cross 🌹

    Sorry for Corbetts Cross and connections.

    As with Springwell Bay, some of the national newspapers have picked up on it and expressing their horror. The same papers that run plenty of articles about celebrities being seen at Cheltenham and are happy to participate with bookmaker promotions, free bets etc.

    Racing as well as life comes with risks, let’s not forget this.

    R.I.P Corbetts Cross

    They mentioned that JP McManus was upset when one of his aids mentioned to him about the tragedy on TV, just before accepting the Trophy for Inothewayurthinkin

    The words of Tears Of A Clown comes to mind.

    “If there’s a smile on my face, it’s just there to fool the public.”

    You've got to accentuate the positive.
    Eliminate the negative.
    Latch on to the affirmative.
    Don't mess with mister in between.
