I wonder if someone can help me here.
A mate of mine has an ante post voucher on Kerstino Two for the Grand National.
Today he heard a rumour that the horse had injured himself on the gallops and has been destroyed. I can’t find any mention of this anywhere.
Does anyone know anything? Is it true or is it someones sick idea of a joke?

Thanks Venusian

March 2, 2007 at 20:42 #42541He had already established himself as the standard-bearer at Charlie Longsdon’s nascent training operation and was a totally reformed character from the one that usually belted a few on the way round in running up ordinary hunters’ chase form last winter.
His Sandown win added another dimension to him, namely handling really bad ground effectively, and I was very much looking forward to him trying his luck at Cheltenham and Aintree no matter what the ground did. A desperate, desperate shame.
