Didn't look good for Insult in the 1.25 at Clonmel. Fingers crossed for him

Waiting Patiently out for the season.

What a shame; so much talent in a horse that will probably never now fulfil his true potential.

Unfortunately Insult did not recover from what I'm guessing might have been a heart attack.

Thank you watching it in the bookies I thought his pelvis had gone. Bless xx

Yes, and unfortunately Ruth Jefferson's cautiousness has come back and bitten. He's hardly had a race in his life (13 races in 5 seasons!!!), and as you say Moe, he's now highly unlikely to ever fulfill his potential.

I’d have hoped so.

Maybe a season of running midfield in handicaps before a tint at National next year

Hmm, interesting. Not sure I agree that 'age is on his side'. Will be interesting to see how he comes back next season.

What a shame. She was getting a bit of a following.

guess I should move him to here now!!
After a typically thoughtful run at Lingfield ( 8 fences ( I think) and “oh look, there’s where I go back in - I must have finished so shall pull myself up now”) raisin has gone to live with a very good friend of mine to hopefully do some eventing.
Seems I’m better at making flicky toed ( or should that be toad !!!) dressage ponies than I am racehorses...

Kalashnikov bled from both nostrils today and is out of Cheltenham and probably OFS.
