    I thought he looked fantastic in this photo - probably better than he did while in training so he's obviously enjoying himself hugely. Great to see!

    It's heartbreaking news. Really is.

    Absolutely gutted for them. Was so looking forward to seeing her over hurdles this season.

    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

    Coupled with Mega Fortune in the space of only a week or so.

    Even as a fan of the sport dealing with this side of the game never gets any easier...

    God knows what it must be like for owners, trainers, etc

    She was a banker for me in the mares novices hurdle at the festival - she will be missed. RIP

    Gordon is having a real torrid time of it. Lucky Pass just made a lovely comeback but broke down after the line and has been put down. Awful news.

    Big fella thanks was put down after Cheltenham when he was injured, not sure that was common knowledge?
    Is mentioned in an article from the guardian about veteran races.

    Gigginstown's fragile-but-talented Lucky Pass was unfortunately PTS yesterday, after sustaining a shoulder injury just beyond the winning-post at Galway.
