    What a tremendous horse he has been. Very glad to see him get out safe and sound. An absolute star.

    Notnowcato has died at the age of 17.

    Will always remember that win in the Eclipse and the ride that Ryan Moore gave him that day.

    Take nothing away from RM, but the victory owed much to Frankie being sold a pup by the Coolmore mafia.

    Poor Knocknanuss.

    It looked like he wanted to run a big race but noticably he wouldn't stop pulling and swaying his head from side to side. It's hard to do that at full pelt around Cheltenham without having an accident. R.I.P fella.

    Managed to get the Mrs to watch the racing. First thing she said was he wanted to take off. Think he was in the process to running a big race there myself, was jumping beautifully before the fall ironically as well.

    Began his life with Ml Winters locally and was always a talking horse if too hot for his own good.
    Family of Dato Star and third dam was Margeeno, a top race mare in the 1960s who was locally owned by John P Foley , a retired policeman and farmer whose last runner was Mr Red Banner, a hurdler that was Festival bound in 2001 only for foot and mouth to cancel play. J P was buried the day after the 2002 Gold Cup aged 91 or 92.
    Knocknanuss is a local hill which was the scene of a major one day battle where more cavalry were killed than in the charge of the light brigade, so I am told.
    It happens to be to the rear of where Missunited was bred and now breeds herself; her Golden Horn filly foal was sold for 150.000 a few weeks ago.

    That’s a real shame. I saw he’d struck into himself but was hoping for the best. Don’t understand why jumps trainers don’t run their horses in front boots with metal strips down the back like we did with the pointers. It does prevent this!

    Didn't know that; mixed day for the stable. Hope Pingshou is ok [last I heard he was a bit dazed but sound].
