Having his 43rd race today at Cheltenham in the Paddy Power and sadly pulled up early on apparently with a fracture. His trainer Ferdy Murphy had had a winner earlier and has now lost a grand servant – completed 40 races – the highs and very lows of racing experienced in a matter of a couple of hours or so. RIP Three Mirrors – you must have given your connections many happy memories.
Ferdy said before the race something along the lines of : either he’ll run into a place or he’ll hate the ground and the handicapper will drop him a few pounds – either way we can’t lose.
Unfortunately he couldn’t forsee a terrible outcome.
