Ugly, ugly fall at the 2nd last in the 2.55 at Wetherby. Must have broken a shoulder and seemed to have suffered a lot as he couldn’t get up. Very sad to watch, please don’t watch the replay if you don’t have the guts to. Especially sad as it happened on its chasing debut on a course known for its very stiff and tricky fences.
Rest in Peace Little Hercules!
I was listening to the racing on the radio this afternoon and there were quite a few falls; I’d hoped that all the horses had survived unscathed so it’s sad to hear this. Poor chap. RIP.
