Fell in the 4.10 at Sandown and it was abundantly clear that he broke his off hind leg.
Very, very sad.
RIP Dancing City 😢
This is very, very upsetting. It was otherwise a fantastic final day of the season.
May he rest in peace
The âWhitbreadâ has been blessed with very few fatalities over the years; I canât even remember any others. A real shame to see this happen on an otherwise great day of racing as ERL says.
RIP Dancing City
Such a lovely horse and right at the end of the season.
RIP Dancing City
Heartbreaking news. All thoughts to his connections.💔Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...Ran at both Spring Festivalâs and was then asked to run in the Bet365 in Mullins bid to win the trainers title. He wouldnât have been seen anywhere near Sandown but for that. Perhaps all those involved might like to think about that.
Dancing City ran at Cheltenham, Aintree and Punchestown last season. He won at the latter two, so his ability to take quick races was not in doubt.
I send my condolences to his connections.
I agree with Astralcharmer, Mullins was taking far too big a risk with Dancing City in the Bet365.
The horse had had just 4 races over fences.
ALL in single figure fields.
AND had fallen on his previous start in a 7 runner race.
The likelihood of Dancing City having another bad error – especially when ridden in the centre of a 19 runner field – was too high.
In fact I’d go further, the conditions of the race should not have allowed him to run. Should have stipulated at least 5 previous chase starts and had not fallen / unseated on it’s run immediately prior to the race.
RIP Dancing City
