    Willie Mullins trained Allaho has had a slight setback and will not appear until Christmas time as he sustained a minor foot injury when pulling off a shoe.

    Very sadly I had to have Tajjree put down last week after she sustained a high pelvic fracture slipping in her stable. Even though I appreciate that they are repairable to a certain degree, it would have meant a six week box rest and even then a decent repair wasn’t certain. She wouldn’t have coped with being stabled for long anyway.

    She gave me and Network Racing so much pleasure not least when she won at Wolverhampton. For a filly that only cost me 800 guineas, she didn’t owe me anything. She had three foals in her retirement- a full TB colt who is now somewhere in Dorset hunting, a Welsh Cob cross 3yo filly which has gone to Cheshire and a Welsh Section B cross yearling which is being retained for breeding by the stallion owner (she would have made a top class show pony but got badly cut in wire).

    She was a real Jekyll and Hyde - a real sweetheart and fantastic to deal with on the ground and a proper cow to ride! I have the remains of a badly broken collar bone from one of her exploits. She deserved to win more really as she was tough as nails.

    Oh no!! Hopefully he makes a good recovery.

    Sorry to see that @Jinnyj - I know how special she was to you.

    Rock my style died after pulling up at Exeter yesterday - sounds like a heart attack from the post I saw about him.

    Malone Road likely out for season
    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

    Sad to report that Brio Conti of Paul Nichols is no more after suffering a freak accident on the gallops (loose horse galloping back down the gallops hit him head on. Loose horse survived)

    Oh bless him - we had two mounted games ponies do that at a competiton one time - hardest nursing job I think I ever had for the survivor. Hope his rider is ok.
