From Dan Skelton Racing
We are saddened to say that we lost Langer Dan suddenly yesterday to the heart condition he was diagnosed with in February last year. He enjoyed a wonderful, well-deserved retirement and was thoroughly spoilt by @amberblythe_31 who rode him during his time in training. Thank you to owner Colm Donlon @squeakyracing for his devotion to Langer Dan both during his racing career and throughout his retirement. We will never forget what he achieved on the racecourse and he will be greatly missed by all 💛💙

Sad news, hoped for a longer retirement. He easily paid for that, didn’t he?
RIP Langer Dan
This was particularly sad but in a way I am glad that the heart issue was diagnosed which meant that he was retired before anything could have happened to him during a race.
He deserved a much longer retirement than he got for all the joy he gave his fans on the course but thanks for the memories….. he was a truly tough, tenacious, little bugger of a horses.
Langer Dan was diagnosed with a rare heart condition, whereby his heart was expanding, shortly after the final run of his career at Windsor last January, and was looked after by Amber Blythe, who works for the leading trainer.
