    I prefer to see it as a career very well managed by WPM.

    Had he have been pushed hard to try and win a Champion Hurdle in 2014, it is less likely that he would be still running at the top six years later.

    Willie had the winner of the Champion that year but running in the Stayers.

    Yes and I was just thinking the slower ground was helping massively and hoping beyond hope that we could have a fatality free week.

    Twitter users claiming you saw the horses neck snap, many actually saying they ain’t watching the NH game again after it. Thank god i didn’t witness it.

    Watching Starchitect and Sir Eric was horrible viewing, god knows what that must have been like.

    What a shame. Does anyone remember SteveM making him a treble max bet on here in the Dewhurst in 2004?

    Was the sire of Dunboyne Express/Dan Excel that won on debut for KP. That was another good day.

    War Sound has sadly died of colic aged 11
    Hobbs also gave news of Sporting John who had co-ordination issues behind after finishing at Cheltenham. Nothing was found that explained Defi’s poor showing though.
