    That's a shame - grand horse for connections should have had a long happy retirement.

    One of the greats for a small trainer.
    Grand people all, GLB was a legend for them.
    He ran second in a Bellewstown maiden early in his career, the only Irish racecourse where Tom has never trained a winner.
    When Gordon could not do it, what are the chances Tom can ever have a winner there.

    A great character. At least he had a good retirement.

    Oh that’s a shame. He was most disappointing so I wondered what was up. I think African Pride broke down in the last too?

    It is a tremendous shame when any horse dies in this sport but I am especially taken aback by Yanworth's passing.

    I vividly remember the impression he made on me when he won the novice hurdle at Cheltenham's January meeting as I probably looked as flabbergasted as his trainer did afterwards. While he didn't go on to become an all time great, he was still some horse to win Grade Ones at two and three miles. It is sad that he did not get to enjoy a retirement.

    RIP

    Not sure where to put this so apologies in advance: someone who works at a local Agricultural College has been tasked with buying/finding 3 horses for the pupils starting in September. She has a budget of £15k for the three so anyone has any in mind who need a new home, or on loan maybe? Thanks.
