And a very nice young man with it. Hope he has a great 'retirement' .

Comply Or Die has died aged 17.

That's so sad, no age at all - I thought he looked great in the parade at Aintree too.

RIP old boy

A behavioural issue by the sound of it?

Tidal Way PTS today after falling at Bangor yesterday. He got up yesterday and seemed fine but after veterinary examination today, was found to have broken a bone in his neck and PTS on vet advice. RIP to the handsome grey.

So Me Dar injured and misses the Oaks according to RP.

All Yours, beaten at 1/5f yesterday under Sam Twiston-Davies at Huntingdon, had post-race ataxia & an atrial fibrillation (via BHA)

 

[Ardross]

Only just saw the news about Cheltenian - what a sickener - he never quite realised his potential after injury .

Sounds like Twinlight has died since running 4th in the Punchestown Champion Chase

Quirky horse - probably had another good race in him

That's a real shame
I remember his debut(think it was Fairyhouse) smashed off the boards all morning but was well held until the front 2 fell at the last. No superstar but I'd wager he was very popular in the yard.

The Corsican has been PTS.

Would be a nice boost for the Hays if his full-brother Deauville won on Saturday.
