    That really didn’t look good for poor Identity Thief. Fingers crossed but I fear the worst.

    Pity indeed.
    That Ryanair Hurdle between IT and Nichols Canyon was some war of attrition yet they both came back to near their best.
    Some horse.

    An old favourite favourite of mine was the Thief. Remember looking at his bumper on a wet sunday and he died on another wet sunday. Shame the cameras caught it happening
    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

    Just heard that the wonderful Monets Garden has passed away. Don't know the details. What a fabulous horse and all credit to connections who got him through those potentially fatal foot problems so he could have a happy retirement. Think I'm going to cry....

    A sickener to read in RP that Watcombe Heights collapsed and died after winning at Exeter.

    Good. Hopefully a long and happy retirement.

    On a separate note but sorry had to voice it, Daryl Jacob looked really, really sore bless him and there was a distinct lack of help for him after that fall at Newbury. Very upsetting and disappointing to see. A very slow reaction to catching the horses too who came down at the water as the horses didn't gallop off and were 'looking' for someone to grab hold of them.
