National Anthem

[Kristaltips]

Broke down badly when leading in the 3.50 at Ascot. Horrible to see. He was leading at the time when he went wrong. RIP National Anthem.

Awful. Totally ruined an otherwise good day’s racing (that & the news about poor Yanworth)

Desperately sad, beautiful boy on good form, awful to see him go like that poor boy, condolences to connections.

Lovely tributes from Cam Hardie:

I don’t follow these type of races a lot but was taken with the look of this horse when he went to start late. He ran admirably – commiserations to those involved with him

What a terribly sad day to lose two wonderful servants to racing..
Can only echo Cam Hardie’s lovely tribute to National Anthem.

RIP⚘

Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...
