Donald McCain endured the highs and lows of racing at Ayr yesterday, completing a double with Vicario and Ernst Blofeld before suffering heartbreak when Netherley was fatally injured later in the day.
Netherley started even-money joint-favourite for McCain in the four-runner victorchandler.com Beginners’ Chase, but he and the other market leader Bleak House fell independently when disputing the lead five fences from home.
