    Stop This Train by no means a great racecourse and only rated 72 over Jumps took a heavy fall at the last in the 3:15 today. The screens went up for almost an hour and she was able to stand up and to be led away (according to RacingTV). She isn’t out of the woods yet, but what a great effort from everybody involved.
    This should also get plenty of attention imo, but I doubt she’ll make the tabloids tomorrow.

    Anyway, Fakenham racecourse deserves a mention for being able to handle such a difficult incident and give the horse time to respond instead of “getting rid” of her fast.

    Fingers crossed for her and for her jockey Niall Houlihan, who was apparently trapped underneath her.

    Apparently had to anaesthetise her to get Niall out from under her so might explain why it took so long. Hopefully they’ll both be OK
