Horrible pile-up in second race at Kempton this afternoon. Silvercombe broke down and fell, bringing down Synonym and Don Ottavio. One of the fallers received a leg injury but is reported to be alright. Hope the jockeys are alright.
RIP Silvercombe, poor baby
Such a horrific accident and those poor horses and jockeys, this shouldn’t be happening on the flat.
Can’t bear to watch a re-run but does anyone think it was jockey error that caused it, I read that Joe Fanning has a ban for careless riding in the race at Hamilton where Paul Mulrennan was thrown to the ground in the closing stages of the race.
I’m worried that jockeys are getting more daring in trying to stop an improving horse as several high profile incidents of cutting across have resulted in victories when objections should have been sustained.
Poor Silvercombe RIP
hope the other horses come through this ok and of course the jockeys. So sad a dreadful day. Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...Such a horrific accident and those poor horses and jockeys, this shouldn’t be happening on the flat.

Poor Silvercombe RIP hope the other horses come through this ok and of course the jockeys. So sad a dreadful day. Absolutely not a jockey error that caused the Kempton incident. It’s clear watching the video that Silvercombe suffered a broken front leg and came down and the other two horses had nowhere to go.
I also think that Joe Fanningmight
have been hard done by at Hamilton. It was such a tightly packed field even though there were only five runners and it all happened so very very fast, that in my mind there is reasonable doubt as to his guilt.
Glad to hear that Meerkat, as I said I couldn’t go back to watch a re run of that race and I never saw it at all to form an opinion that was why I asked how it happened.
Awful day for jockeys and Silvercombe just a 2yo
