    Horrible fall at the second fence having blundered at the first fence. The horses body could be clearly seen on the second circuit and the other horses had to bypass the fence. So sad. RIP Dubai Crest. :cry: :cry:
    The commentator said its the second fatality today. Not sure who the other horse is as only just started watching ATR. RIP :(

    Broke almost every vital bone in his body by the looks of it.
    What is this horse doing over fences?
    It was bred to be a 8-10f horse on the Flat, never jumped a fence in public and was clearly out of his depth in this race. What are some trainers thinking? Especially the ones with a strike rate of around 5 percent. Why not shoot the horse before the race?
    This really was a disgrace and nothing to be proud of if you consider yourself a member of the NH community.
    Poor Dubai Crest

    DON’T CARE A S..T ABOUT TRAINER AND ITS CONNECTIONS !!!!!

    Well poor poor horse , totaly agree with comments. That horse must have suffered so much. The standards of racing at the lower end of the game seems to be on a downward spiral.

    Thought he looked totally out of his depth. Slipped badly at the first fence and crashed through the second. Such a waste of a beautiful horse’s life. :cry: Says that he had also just changed trainer. Bad decision by all concerned to send him to jump fences.

    That was very sad to watch. Dubai Crest seemed to just close his eyes and hope to get to the other side.

    What a sad end for a good horse. :(

    With a name like Dubai Crest, I thought at the start of the race, this must be an ex flat horse. I’d assume he was already injured after the blunder at the first because he crumpled like a rag doll over the second. You could see he wasn’t going to get up from that.
    What a sad waste of a life.

    Thats just what I thought The Young Fella. After the first fence I was hoping the jockey would pull him up but as I realised he was attempting the next fence I could barely watch, then that happened. He just seemed to crash through the fence with his eyes shut. It was horrible. :(
