A real shame. I saw him run three times at Newbury, Ascot and Cheltenham and he was always impressive. Comiserations to connections and all involved.
I’ll miss seeing him run at Cheltenham as will thousands of others, I hate it when we lose horses. :angry:
<br>       R.I.P – Jair Du CochetSaddened to read on the Racing Post website that some twisted individual(s) layed Jair Du Cochet at 999-1 after news of his death had come through.
No scruples whatsoever! :angry:
It’s a tragedy losing a horse at the best of times, but just before the Gold Cup couldn’t be worse. I remember being at Ascot on Ladies Day a few years back when a horse fell. The screens went up and stayed up for about ten minutes. You could have heard a pin drop during all that time, and when the horse finally walked out unscathed, it got the biggest cheer of the day! I cried! It really is all about the horse.
<br>Just as an afterthought, I remember in the past when Jair Du Cochet was going to be sold a couple of times but he failed the vet on both occasions, so was that because of worries about his leg(s)/general physique or a totally different problem?????
Horrible news, he will be missed.
Paul – I think it was because he was thought to have a tendency to break blood vessels.
