Equine Retirements, Long Term Injuries and Departures

[NewApproach]

Gutting end for such a wonderful horse.

I know, just devastating, what a hero of a horse

 

[granger]

Saw his stable lass this morning on TML.

The care and love they have for these horses. A happy retirement to him hopefully

This would break your heart

The poor lass, trainer and owner

Brilliant horse

 

[viking]

Such a fantastic warrior. RIP Envoi Allen

 

[Marble]

Gutted.

R.I.P Envoi

On Friday 13th too.

 

[Coach miguel]

Just awful for the connections. The highs and lows of racing.

 

[Double J]

Soured the day that.

 

[jinnyj]

I just hated the way they kept hyping up "it's his last race..."

And it shows just how much these horses give physically in the top races.

 

[edgt]

Pity that. Shades of Doran's Pride in Hunters Chase those years ago.

 

[jinnyj]

Oh I'd forgotten that - that was another awful day. I was so angry that they needed to bring him back hunter chasing.

I knew you’d be fuming, jj. One day they’ll listen to you.

Think I do an awful lot of fuming...

So So sad for them all, with everything that went on around him back along as well, to finish the story so sadly is all kinds of wrong. But the cheers alll around, the speed it would have happened and the fact that he’d have been full of adrenaline and known nothing about it is at least something. RIP to a superstar.

Yes absolutely agree - he would have known nothing. Just gone down with a plop. Awful for the crowd to see on the walkway and expect plenty to have taken photos and sent them to the Daily Mail etc who will all call for jump racing to be banned in all forms.

Yep - just adds fuel to them.
