Likewise. Watched him win a bumper in IRE a few months prior to the festival when he finished like a train and was surprised at his 33/1 price at Cheltenham…but took it.
I’m no rider but he seemed to be travelling well yesterday so why was he backhanded so close to the fence surely it might have caused a lack of concentration at a crucial time?
Only been in this game a year and a half but I know tha name Hairy Molly and just watched the race on VT. Shocking fall and the horse deserved better. Never knew until now that her won the Cheltenham bumper but still retained his enthusiasm for a race as his final couple of miles showed. Very upsetting, commiseration to connections and loss to racing in Ireland.
