Roll again

[Prong]

Fatally injured running loose at Haydock today

Sad to hear this- it was a horrible fall.

[Ex RubyLight]

Wait a minute, he unseated and kept on running with the field. Then he took a somersault at the very next fence and I thought he got up okay and kept on till the end of the race.

Sorry to hear this, but I guess you know more than I do.

May he rest in peace.

It was announced on Itv that he injured himself while running loose I’m guessing from the fall

Poor boy jumped next fence loose ok, then somersaulted at the following one, horrible fall probably instant. A couple of other loose horses finished the race ok.
RIP Roll Again

So sad for the horse and his owners.
Reminded me of Synchronised in the Grand National and before him Mackelvey.
Even more heartbreaking when a horse has survived a fall and goes on to be fatally wounded.
RIP Roll Again 😪

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

Those two were in my thoughts too Triptych, along with several other horror incidents involving more lowly horses that I’m ashamed to say I can no longer remember the names of. I am always disappointed that more isn’t done to try to stop riderless horses continuing (or just racing off into the void), either by course design or having riders on course

It looked a horrible somersault but it wasn’t instant as the vets tried very hard to save him and the next race was delayed whilst they worked on him … poor lad …

[Illavim]

Awful to hear that, had hoped it was instant so he didn’t suffer too long. Such a shame , his jumping had looked sound before he unshipped his rider. Very sad for all concerned.
