Bajan Parkes was well on his way to a first hurdle success only to break down just before the final flight. Terrible to lose any horse, but to have the euphoria of an impending victory replaced by heartbreak in a matter of strides must be truly, truly awful.
My condolences to connections, particularly owner / breeder Joseph Heler.
Rest In Peace, Bajan Parkes and Hogmaneigh – a wonderful old sprinter.
