    Sad to read this news Ruby 😪
    He was a beautifully bred horse by Golden Horn/Queen’s Consort bred by Godolphin. Such a handsome horse.

    Very hit and miss throughout his career I feel sorry that he met his end in this way as he had only recently shown great ability to win a Handicap Chase at Windsor on 26th Jan. Turned out again very quickly for his final race and sent off favourite he never came home :cry:
    RIP 🌹 Officer Of State

    Jac, I didn’t look at his outstanding breeding, but it’s very sad for such a well bred horse to die in the Lingfield mud after falling with four fences to jump.

    Why do horses so often lose their lives in a race following a win?
