Jackdaw's will be a sad place tonight. RIP Galaxy Rock.

Terrible four months for those connected to that horse which was the one on which J T McNamara had his terrible accident.

 

[chroniclandlord]

Really sorry about Galaxy Rock, he was the type of staying chaser I love.

 

[Fizzbw]

Poor old Galaxy Rock, such a tragic last few months for him. Couldn't see the fall on TV and then they said he was up and I was relieved. So sad it wasn't good news after all. Unusual to have a fall though he was usually such a Sound jumper.

At least I've just seen a nice picture of Long Run on his holiday to give an upside.

Mon Mome, winner of the John Smith's Grand National in 2009, made a winning start to a new career when he landed the Novice Thoroughbred class at the annual Newmarket Festival In-hand Show.

Coolmore report that St Nicholas Abbey has suffered a career ending injury at Ballydoyle this morning.

Vets are attending to St Nicholas Abbey with hopes that he can be saved for a career at stud.

 

[trudij]

Oh crap, that doesn't sound good....

Keeping everything crossed he pulls through.

 

[Fizzbw]

Oh no! That's really sad, I really hope they save him

[Colin Phillips]

Is it known what the injury is?

 

[JamesRB]

Is it known what the injury is?

i don't know for sure but lot of talk he had an unfortunate fall and broke one of his legs

if so..........gonna be hard to fix that one

 

[Colin Phillips]

If it's a fore leg, they may be able to save him for stud duties, they did it with Mill Reef.

 

[chroniclandlord]

I'm just gutted. I really hope that they can save him.

 

[Brochdoll]

Sad about Galaxy Rock and fingers crossed for St Nicholas Abbey
