A really sombre moment in the office when this happened. We all liked Santani – a nimble front-running jumper with a good attitude who looked at least a 130 horse in the making, possibly better over further in time. He was lugging his double penalty along like a Trojan and looked likely to win again when the leg gave way. Especially sad for Tom Symonds, who doesn’t seem to get much luck.
Sadly broke down right in front of a young crowd at Uttoxeter as well, heard it took a long time to get screens around him. :(
