Equine Retirements, Long Term Injuries and Departures

That is possibly the most tragic scene I have seen on a racecourse. One minute I was shouting “he’s a proper Derby horse!” and now I’m in tears. Devastated.

Just terrible.

Was working this afternoon and so didn't see the racing - I was a bit annoyed earlier thinking I'm missing the Chester Vase but glad now I didn't see it . What a terrible shame, RIP Hidden Law

The saddest thing was that he looked a bit special winning only for seconds later for everything to go so horribly wrong. I really could have seen him having an outstanding chance at Epsom especially as he quickened beautifully.

Apparently he took a false step as he went over the covered road crossing.

So sad.i watched the race but I'm glad I looked away just before it happened.

Same.

Imagine that happening a smaller stable though.
I remember a small Curragh based trainer about 30 years ago winning the two year old maiden Irish Derby weekend with a debutant that never made it to the winner's enclosure.
