    Gutted as had high hopes for her.

    Shame. He was a very good horse on his day.

    Looked like he had the world at his feet post JLT. Go easy fella.
    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

    Not been on here in a while, but just passing on that sadly my old friend and forum friend Stargazy passed away at the end of March this year of a heart attack. I know in the old days of the forum, he had a friendly following and gave me some amazing times and thought I would just pass on so everyone knew. Hope everyone is well.

    bless him, he’s had a heck of an innings considering he nearly didn’t make it through the pelvic fracture. RIP

    Sad to hear this as he was a fabulous animal. Helped to save himself when the pelvic break happened as stood calmly eaiting for help. Was lucky enough to se him at leisure when recuperating at Kingswood Stud. At least he had a good life afterwards. Bless him
