    Another horse well clear in an US G1 race taking a fatal fall half a furlong from home.
    This one was owned by AMO USA and it happened again at Saratoga.

    May he rest in peace

    Dreadful news. Why not just boycott the place. Is it really worth the risk of going for Gp.1 glory on such an unstable track with a horse who had only ever won a Class 3 at Newcastle, what were they thinking.
    RIP Nobel💔and New York Thunder.💔

    Nobel was in an Allowance Optional Claimer .
    Imho if Saratoga is boycotted fine , but that would suggest the Grand National should also be boycotted as figures could be worse per runner .
