    Grange trained by E P Harty dead after fall at Thurles last Thursday.
    Dam a half sister to Captain Cee Bee so sorely missed by all associates.

    So pleased about The Minack. Hoping that my current favourite horse, Little Glenshee is ok after falling at Wetherby; I didn't hear the race so am assuming everythings fine.

    Equitania seemed to suffer a heart attack coming out of the stalls. Looked truly horrific, but suspect she was effectively senseless, and died within seconds.

    There is a post on one of the racing facebook pages saying that she had her foreleg caught in the reins as she came out, how true that is I don't know as I didn't see it

    It's categorically not true - although easy to see why people would think that might be the case.

    Good to hear that Monkety is on the mend and that The Minack's injury isn't as bad as first feared.

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

    The pic is from Jess's Facebook and Twitter feeds and I think we should acknowledge that to stay legal. Just ask UG.
