A horrid fall, not sure if he was brought down but you could see that it was fatal RIP Forward Plan 😥🥀
I heard there were a few falls and was hoping they all got up safely..sadly not Forward Plan.😢
Really sad week and I really feel for those who look after these horses and return home with an empty horsebox. I used to love the jumps but can’t watch it live anymore.Love and thoughts to all who loved and cared for him.
RIP Forward Plan 🌹
Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...I first watched the Great Yorkshire as a child in 1965 as a child sixty years ago. Visibility was extremely poor, and two leading contenders for the Grand National were lost, Buona Notte (who had just beaten Arkle when receiving lumps of weight) and Red Thorn (who had won at Aintree’s autumn meeting) I was heartbroken and very sorrowful. Despite many safety improvements such tragedies still happen, as evidenced by poor Forward Plan’s fatal fall. I will never stop feeling sorrowful when this happens, but it is an inevitable downside of the great pleasure we receive from watching so many gallant horses racing against one another. Racing must never be complacent about horse welfare, especially where potential tragedies can be prevented.
