    14 runners = at least 13 losers.

    As this thread has morphed into cringeworthy commentary etc phrases can I add

    “XYZ (Name of horse) wins the races.”

    As far as I know a horse cannot run in more than one race at a time. John McCririck was a prime offender with this one.

    “This horse is trained to the minute”

    Well let’s hope the start is not delayed as if it is he will have gone over

    “This fellow will jump a fence”

    I don’t think we have races with just one fence

    And of course the preposterous “He jumps from fence to fence” already mentioned

    Yes that is really sad news.

    I had not realised the injury had become life threatening.

    Agree about Westover and it would be great to see him kept in training

    A great result for Frankel as well in addition to Kelina in La Foret

    What acceleration Ace Impact showed.

    Love a middle distance horse that can quicken like that. Reminded me of an old time favourite of mine: Busted, who appears back on the dam side of his pedigree

    As regards stallion duties,the market will determine his fate.

    Some unsound horses have been influential stallions. For example Mr Prospector delivered speed, class and unsoundness; often as a package.

    This is probably career ending. Hopefully nothing worse.

    Must admit to never having liked the horse. Give me a Paddington any day

    The buffoons who protest about the death of some horses ought to bear in mind that if any code of racing were to be banned there would be lorry after lorry taking racehorses and broodmares off to abattoirs.

    I guess Al Roc is entitled to be angered
