From what I can see, it doesn’t appear that Closgregg ever made it to the racecourse VF.
I’ve been having a look Ex RubyLight, and one of the owners tweeted back in early March that he passed away having come down on the gallops…not sure why it’s taken so long to be registered. RIP fella.
Totally agree with Lochinver…the jockey should be banned…poor horse made two horrendous errors…why continue especially after the second of these? Was it really worth continuing for £350? Disgraceful.
That’s sad news Marlingford…he was one of those horses that seemed to have been around forever…yet was only 8 years old. As you mention his consistency in finishing in the frame was tremendous. A sad loss.
RIP Templepark.
Really sad to see his name on here. I saw him win on my first visit to Sandown back in 2015 and was taken then by his wonderful attitude to racing. Gave his all every single race no matter the opposition. I feel a bit similar to when Many Clouds passed away. Racing gives you so much joy and its wonderful horses like Lil Rockerfeller that do it for me.
RIP fella…you won’t be forgotten.
Yep, it didn’t look good for Caught On The Hop…no confirmation as to his wellbeing as yet.
It seems the Keep The Faith syndicate have a few engagements upcoming.

As you say Tonge, hopefully it is an admin error by the HRI. I’m guessing that the RP takes it’s lead from the HRI in terms of updating the profile of these horses?…I’ll keep an eye on this and GLADLY amend the post if it turns out its incorrect. I can’t see anything else online about this and I reckon it would certainly have attracted attention due to the short timeline involved.

How is it frustrating? You know who is jocked up before you choose to back it or not.
My point ‘Peruvian Chief’ is that in Horse Racing its hoped that the jockey on board your horse has at least some basic tactical knowledge and learns from previous mistakes where they’ve been made. Based on todays race that wasn’t evident. The horse clearly has some ability though I doubt this will continue under current arrangements. Safe to say I’ve learned a lesson and won’t touch anything she is on in future! It might be useful if Miss Walton views Claire Hart’s jockeyship on Palypso De Creek in the very next race…
It’s only my opinion but I think if a horse dies on the racecourse & not as the result of either a heart attack or a fall, then questions need to be asked.
Four in a day is absurd. Especially two on the same part of the racecourse.
Did I hear correctly that Charger got up after his fall? That looked a bad one.
I heard Kevin O’Ryan on ATR say that Charger got up after a while and was OK. As you say, at the time it didn’t look too promising so some good news there at least.
I just think with some of the racecourses in IrelandNI, you automatically expect incidents to happen because of the way the courses are laid out. Tipperary and Downpatrick are two that spring to mind. I know horses are fragile at the best of times but anything feasible that can be done on the course to try and reduce fatalities, should be done in my opinion.
