Equine Retirements, Long Term Injuries and Departures

[Grasshopper]

It's being reported elsewhere that Windsor Park is officially OFS.

Apologies if it's already been highlighted here - couldn't be fagged looking back.

That is the first I've heard of it GH.

It is uncorroborated, CL.....as far as I'm aware.......though lack of entries perhaps backs it up?

Flakey dove just got mentioned on channel 4, can't believe she was 30 - that makes me feel very old !!!!!

Reading on Twitter that Tell us more has suffered an overeach (back legs striking into front) causing an injury...doesn't say how bad.......

My one and only festival-spent the last week of the month surviving on boil in the bag rice and sweet and sour sauce from local Chinese.

What a dreadful few days for Gary Moore. Season is over for Traffic Fluide and Violet Dancer and now Ar Mad finished lame at Plumpton yesterday. Let's just hope it's nothing too serious and he can still make it to the Festival.
