    One For Arthur out for the season says it all showing just how heartbreaking the game can be for connections

    One minute you are dreaming of everything from the Gold Cup to another Grand national the next minute you have an invalid to care for.

    A real shame, the only really top class horse in Scotland as far as I know.

    Hadn't realised Messire des Obeaux broke down badly at Aintree in April. Alan King just mentioned on ATR we won't see him this season and maybe not again

    Can be so cruel at times, Mega Fortune surely will be put down after that.

    Beginning to think my list of horses for the TTF this season is jinxed, must be about ten or a dozen I've had to change now.
