Horrible incident today, and I was so upset for his connections bringing one over for it to end like that.
Poor horse got from the last hurdle to the winning post on 3 legs before being caught. Really put a cloud over the race, which was a shame.
Really sad news. They said on C4 that it was a suspected broken shoulder, but that he’d been taken off in the horse ambulance and there was no further news given after that. RIP.
All in all the recipe for one of racings worse kind of tragedies [not least of which was that he was running in a race where he had little chance of winning] compounded by the fact that he ended up in front of the stands. I kept hoping beyond hope that what I’d heard was wrong and that they’d be able to save him. What a sad journey home for connections.
I agree with all of you here. RIP lad
I always feel so sad for a horse and his connections when the horse dies away from home, nightmare journey home with an empty box. Not a good visit generally for the French this time.I did wonder as well if he was just running to give the jockey some experience of the track before the next race. As Gemix ran so badly I also thought that, perhaps the jockey was pretty shook up by what happened.
I was stood on the rails only about 20 feet away from where he stopped, just minutes before I was saying how beautiful he looked. As he ran past us on 3 legs I felt so sick I wanted to run over and hug the poor lad! His connections looked genuinely distraught as the walked away from the scene aswell.
Truly awful!RIP Seabreeze D’ho
