Equine Retirements, Long Term Injuries and Departures

[edgt]

On His Own also retired after injury at Thurles last week.
(Salsify's fall had me worried that day but thankfully he stood after )
OHO and John's Spirit were two of my many favourites in the past few years.

Awful news, for all his fine achievements there was still plenty to look forward to with Many Clouds, who was the epitome of what staying chasers are about.

Absolutely tragic and desperate news to come back into, this is just absolutely horrific at any time, let alone after putting up such a gutsy performance.

Truly shocked and saddened by this, was only 2 months ago since I saw him at home and what fine fettle he looked in after his op over the summer. Absolutely awful news and my thoughts go out to those connected with the horse and everyone at Rhonehurst.

Rest in peace, Many Clouds - too brave for your own good.

 

[Diamond Geezer]

Many Clouds did from a severe pulmonary haemorrhage, the fatality rate in racing is just 0.048 per cent of runners.

From PN website

"Clan Des Obeaux is likely to miss Cheltenham and have a confidence booster at a flat track on better ground in six weeks before we raise his sights again at maybe Aintree or Ayr."

Not a departure but a return....La Estrella seems to be 'out' of retirement; running tomorrow....

 

[trudij]

Goodness me, the Ricci's must've really upset the equine Gods. Get the cotton wool out for Douvan!
