Well that’s very sad to hear, hope he had a good retirement, although he was only 18. RIP hero
Poor boy such cruel fate … clearly well loved and will be sorely missed, what a great character. RIP
Poor boy.. not nice that he died when jockey was putting the whip on him. He truly gave it all he had.
Poor Henry, He seemed to loose concentration or may even have been unsighted at that hurdle.. what a price to pay
Point taken; however the fact remains that in a high risk sport risk assessments must cover all eventualities, a horse or jockey can be stricken on any point of a racetrack and it is the duty of the racecourse to ensure that there is a working plan to deal with any incidence. The incident in question was a tragedy for the horse and connections but it was a hairs breath away from being an even bigger tragedy. It was great that the racecourse put out a bulletin, lets hope their review highlights the problems and actions are brought in as soon as possible.
Total disgrace…… horrific… lost for words. Close down that track until they have undergone training for safety procedures
Checked his form .. 17 days since he last run a 3mile + race, a big ask for a 13yr. Poor lad crashing into that wall was truly horrific. RIP old boy
