Equine Retirements, Long Term Injuries and Departures

Steps, Roger Varian's sprinter, entered in this Saturday's Epsom Dash has died after an accident at home this morning.
 
Vancouver packed off to Aussie stud duties early after seemingly a combination of demand and an unsatisfactory blood picture.
 
That is sick, what a terrible thing. I remember him racing too - always liked him (I love greys), was he also once with George Margarsson in his younger days or is that another Woolfall?.

Thoughts with his owner and other connections

I took this photo of No Heretic in the parade ring before he was sadly lost in the first race.

Sad to report that trainer Nerys Dutfield has died - only a couple of months after her husband, Simon.

Also Robin Gray - former amateur and racecourse commentator (a lovely man who I met on a couple of occasions)
