So sad. He was such an exuberant horse to watch. Condolences to connections an d other fans.
An article in the Irish Examiner said she was taken to the vets but they were unable to save her and she was put down. Very sad.
Hi all. Long time reader, first time poster. Just on the Racing UK coverage of Amron Lad, I watched the end of the race and, while they were waiting for the photo finish result, one of the commentators (I don’t know who’s who) mentioned Amron Lad and that he had had a bad fall and that it really didn’t look good. He described himself as fingers crossed for the horse and its connections, but that it really did look bad.
I think that commentators can sometimes gloss over or ignore fatalities and I have been very cranky at some race coverage where this has happened but in this case it wasn’t done or at least wasn’t taken lightly. Whoever the commentator was, he was genuinely concerned for the horse, informed the public that it looked bad and he sincerely was hoping for the best. It was some time after the race, I agree, and probably should have been mentioned earlier. But it was discussed.
