Equine Retirements, Long Term Injuries and Departures

[trudij]

Oh!!! Not put down

*crosses everything again*

[granger]

Not been put down yet

[NewApproach]

Fingers crossed for him

[Bonjers]

Ooh good news! Come on, son!

[Bonjers]

He's stable but won't race again. A real shame but delighted he's still with us.

[NewApproach]

A pity he won't race again but really pleased that they've managed to save him - great news.

[trudij]

Good news. Glad things aren't so bleak - hopefully he will have a long and happy retirement

[Diamond Geezer]

I'm afraid No More Heroes hasn't made it

[trudij]

[Bonjers]

Gutted

[Colin Phillips]

Very sad, a grand-looking horse.

Reports suggesting Niceonefrankie died at the fourth last - this is becoming a grim year .

[TheBear]

Tends to happen with ground like this. Horses are going a good deal faster than they've been used to all season.

[Dave G]

It was an awful looking fall. Rolled over the jockeys head as well.

Indeed. Seven horses lost, Long Dog, Montdragon, The Govaness, Pont Alexandre, Rezorbi, No More Heroes and Niceonefrankie. Three of them came a cropper at obstacles, the rest died for other reasons.

Long Run, winner of the 2011 Cheltenham Gold Cup, retired after 5th in Hunters Chase @CarlisleRaces today.

[NewApproach]

Hope he has a long and happy retirement

[trudij]

Fingers crossed he gets to have lots of fun. He looks like he enjoys his down time /qualifying so more of that

[Beef or Salmon]

I see that Sam got a ban for not riding him out after the last as he could have gotten third place, Lord jaysus have these clowns any common sense at all
