    The sport can be so cruel sometimes. Whilst one wants all horses to be ok, it hurts so much more when it is a favourite as the stars are the ones that keep one watching year in year out. Really casts a shadow over the rest of the festival. Devastating stuff.

    Condolences to the connections.

    RIP

    Devastated, was hoping they could save him. They seemed to be travelling so fast towards the 1st Hurdle and throughout the race and when I saw his fall I feared we would lose him. It took the shine off of Jezki’s brilliant win as you can’t possibly feel happy when you know a horse is out there fatally injured. :cry: :cry: :cry: Condolences to Dessie Hughes and his team and the owners.
    RIP Our Conor..so sad that this has happened, God Bless :cry:

    Would have won a Champion Hurdle of some description at some point.

    Really put a downer on the day.

    RIP, kiddo.

    Very sad. Definitely put a downer on the day. Anyone know if gardefort in the last was ok? Took a fall 2 out when a fair way behind. Stayed down but not heard anything which I will take as good news.

    Even worse when there’s the long journey back to Ireland afterwards. The end of a life and a dream. Very sad.

    Absolutely gutted by this, such a wonderful day of racing and plenty of profit made, but I’d quite happily chuck it all in and more to have this horse up and running again.

    Such a good natured and promising horse, rest well you beautiful thing. :cry:
