He's had to be retired, hopefully they can save him

Thanks for the update. Although the fall looked awful I thought he’d walked away from it and looked ok. Fingers crossed that he’ll be ok and have a nice retirement.

Hopefully they can save him. I'm sure I saw him get up and run past the end of the shute but mind maybe on BBB and getting races mixed up possibly.

Tiutchev gone to the paddock in the sky, at the ripe old age of 29.

Dead Solid Perfect
This story really touched me today, so thought it apt that a horse that probably/possibly none of us ever heard of got a send-off here on the forum.

Allaho reportedly misses the KG with a setback, according to ATR. Connections hoping he'll be Ok for Cheltenham.

I saw it too and found it very touching.
It reminds me of when my pony got colic and had to be pts. I phoned the vets asking for any vet to come asap.My vet wasn’t working that day. But next thing I knew she was at the field. I made you a promise, she said ( we knew Rosie wasn’t going to get through another winter so we’d pencilled in a date). She left the practice and I never saw her again but I’ll be eternally grateful to her.
Maybe Allaho was never going to turn up at Kempton (but maybe he was), but I think the stable would be very foolish to resort to pretending a stable star was injured if it wasn’t in fact the case. You can congratulate yourself on your good fortune that he won’t be turning up, but not your prescience.

Yes, and me. One of the joys of TH is that people have a genuine affection for the horses we talk about, as well as a genuine sadness when they get injured or die. They are not just counters in a betting game, but proud animals that are fully deserving of our love and respect. That shows up all the time from forumites and you’re a great bunch
