    Sad to hear this. I didn’t see the race and didn’t know about the falls. A bad festival week for deaths; that’s five (plus two at other courses during the four days). :negative:

    What an awful way to end the festival. Thoughts with all those who knew or loved Some Plan, Dresden and North Hill Harvey, as well as the others lost this week.

    The Grand Annual has had 4 deaths since 2012 (three this year). The Grand National hasn’t had any in that time.

    It’s a horrendous race to watch, the jockeys don’t like riding in it because of the speed they go at, the field size is too big; something needs to change.
