    That is sick, what a terrible thing. I remember him racing too - always liked him (I love greys), was he also once with George Margarsson in his younger days or is that another Woolfall?.

    Thoughts with his owner and other connections

    That's so tragic - how do families cope when something like this happens?

    Sad to report that trainer Nerys Dutfield has died - only a couple of months after her husband, Simon.

    Also Robin Gray - former amateur and racecourse commentator (a lovely man who I met on a couple of occasions)
