    Track vets are concerned about Briar Hill, I really hope he is ok.

    LI retired also. Leg gone again. Another that shouldn't have run
    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

    Agreed - he was never happy on that ground - very short, choppy action.

    A long and happy retirement to Last Instalment and hope Briar Hill has a speedy and full recovery

    Also a speedy recovery to all the injured jockeys - can't believe Daryl Jacob wanted to get up and walk

    Sadly you could see Raya Star was a fatality even on a tiny screen. Poor boy.

    Still cross about Dunguib and last installment is just salt in the wound.

    That's Rhythm fractured his skull when badly hampered by Ganbei in the Foxhunters though he's going to be ok.
