R.I.P all those beautiful soles above and sparing a thought for 9yo War Anthem who had not raced for 3 years and broke down fatally.
From his form I can’t see any other reason for pulling him out of retirement other than a syndicate’s day out, he really should not have been on a racetrack but enjoying retirement… a terrible waste.
Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...
