    Update, sounds as if a training accident at Lucinda Gould's
    Apparently dived head first over an open ditch & landed on his neck (according to FB)

    I don't think he ran at Larkhill on Saturday - he won there earlier in the month (5th Jan I think) but not down to run there last w/e. Unless he was schooling there afterwards? But there is nothing on the Jumping For Fun forum which I would have thought there would be.

    Lucinda Gould Poquelin died whilst doing a routine piece of work underneath his trainer and best pal Andrew. We suspect he had a heart attack, it was very quick and he did not suffer. We sat with him afterwards to say goodbye. He was a horse who always enjoyed his work and was full of enthusiasm so rest assured he died happy.

    Pity about Aurora's Encore.
    He ran some race last Saturday. Delighted that he should be ok.

    Poquelin a hell of a horse also.

    Death noted in this week's calender registrations include Immediate Response, presumably following his fall at Leopardstown last Saturday and the promising Elliott trained novice hurdler Rockdown.
