Pleased to see they have retired him. I was there for his Gold Cup too and yes it was brutal. Hope he has a decent retirement.
Good decision, so glad he got out in one piece. Hopefully has many happy years ahead of him.

Had to turn it off to not see what happened. Espirit Du Large just ook an absolutely horrible fall. Was not nice to watch. Some sort of summersault 360 landing on its neck.

I think she has a few backers on here. Patrick Mullins quote from during the week
Faugheen had a setback also
When are they just going to give up with Faugheen? Horse owes them nothing, and deserves his retirement.
Phil Kirby has retired Suggestion. He’s gone to Adam Nicol’s so hopefully we’ll see him on the beach!
Dalakhani at the Agha Khan's Gilltown Stud in Ireland, was privileged to visit the stud immediately after Sea The Stars was sent there, have photos somewhere.
Loved that horse, not old either bless him. Daylami wasn't overly popular at stud until his brother retired, and then some people who couldn't have a nomination with Dalakhani . tried to get one with Daylami who always covered very limited books, and were furious at being turned away. Someone at Kildangan said to me ' we're couldn't give away a nomination last year now they're shouting at us 'cos we are saying no'.
Rarely did a horse get a quieter ride in a Classic than Dalakhani in Irish Derby when home town hero Alamshar did him.
Shows how sporting the Aga Khan was to run them both that day.
Mohaayed at Market Rasen
I was hoping beyond hope that Mohaayed wasn’t injured but it didn’t look good. I feel as if I’ve been following and backing him forever. Must have been such a favourite at the yard. RIP
Ardlethen and Espion both fatally injured at Warwick
Bloody hell - so unfortunate.
And the day gets worse. Awful news. Condolences to everyone connected to them.
