    Also only 6 years old, put to sleep because he was in too much pain from the illness that caused his retirement. So unfair.

    That is so sad to hear, beautiful talented horse.

    My last trip to the Cheltenham Festival was the day he won the Triumph. Not many of that day’s winners left now, all lost in very sad circumstances. R.I.P. Countrywide Flame (and Bellvano, Synchronised, Brindisi Breeze)

    This is very sad news indeed.

    No horse deserves to be in any amount of pain for any amount of time but I did have a soft spot for this guy. Not only was he a tough little machine on the track but he was one of the incredibly rare animals to have won at Cartmel before taking any race at the Cheltenham Festival, let alone a Grade One.

    Heart-wrenching to hear.

    RIP
