Sad to see Sky Pirate’s name here, he had developed into a classy handicapper and was a regular in big races over the past couple of seasons. RIP Sky Pirate

True, it’s bad to see his name up here, but I think Jonjo jr. should have pulled him up immediately after both hind legs hit the bottom part of the open ditch. Instead he asked him to jump the water as well before finally pulling him up. Maybe the damage could have been limited, who knows. His chance had gone anyway with that terrible jump which almost forced him to a complete stand still.
He was a decent horse who still had a few good handicaps in him.

May he rest in peace.

Sad to hear. He was a good chaser and one of the select group of just five British trained winners at last year’s Cheltenham Festival.

Condolences to his connections.
