Yes I agree I just saw the incident on BBC1 and as soon as I saw it it looked obvious there was no chance for him. Condolenses to all connections.
I don’t know if it is the ground or what but there seems to be a lot of flat horses breaking down this week firstly at Chester and now at Ascot.
I also saw this horrific breakdown of such a talented horse. Such a tragic end to so much promise…I just hope the suffering came to an end quickly..Rest well dear friend
I would just like to say a big thank you to you all for your messages. It is nice to know that Ivy had some fans.
My husband was the lad responsible for Ivy during his career and as you can imagine it was a very sad day in our household.
Ivy was a fantastic character and a gentle giant and is greatly missed by all who knew him.
