    Wicklow Brave fell at the last fence of the Grand National. NJ State Veterinarian Dr. Stacey Romano reported that he sustained a fractured right shoulder and was transported to the stable area, where he was euthanized.

    Wicklow Brave was some servant.
    Shame for all concerned.

    edgt-I have been a racing fanatic since 1980-when I was 10.In my opinion he has been the most versatile performer in that time - I spent half an hour looking and his career record and it is unreal - the races he has run in and the horses he has defeated -not to mention the races and prize money he has won. I only read about Sea Pigeon and Lescargot but Wicklow ran over 3codes on 3continents - won Group 1s and Grade 1s defeated Grade 1winners and classic winners -, what a horse.

    Yes, I think it happened not too long after the yard lost Brindisi Breeze in a freak accident (and also the tragic death of Campbell Gillies)

    Ahh - that would explain why I’d missed it - BB and Campbell did kind of take over everything for all the worst reasons around that time
