Thats sad.
Was a brilliant horse for all concerned.

Seems like he had a nice retirement, bless him!

I tipped Langer Dan when he won the Coral Cup, the days when I used to pick winners.

Surprised you can remember that far back

Tip for Saturday racing - GG, running in the 3pm Premier Survival Stakes at Elland Rd jockeyed by our very own member Orange Box.
Swannie will understand this if no-one else does.

The race was a farce, it should have been called off.

The stewards called the correct result though, Kripticjim got home by the slightest of margins by a nose I thought when watching the race live.

Btw, it wasn't as dark as the photo suggested.

Nicky Henderson confirms Sir Gino has fractured pelvis but reports star hurdler to be 'comfortable and stable'

Cheltenham's clerk of the course Jon Pullin defended the decision to stage the final race of Trials day after a large hole opened on the track, leading to a lengthy delay and a new track configuration.

The Grade 2 AIS Novices' Hurdle, which rounded off the eight-race card, started 29 minutes late and concluded four minutes after sunset, meaning conditions were too dark to decipher a photo-finish between Kripticjim and Taurus Bay. Instead, the stewards had to use the video footage before confirming Kripticjim as the winner.

The delay came after a hole, caused by a possible drainage issue, was found in the home straight. Images from Racing TV showed it was deep enough for the whole arm of a member of the groundstaff to disappear into the ground.

Take a bow Constitution Hill

As I said above mate, take a bow CH.

That was stunning.

[Jaydog]

Beat nothing of course.
Would have to improve by a fair chunk to be a serious flat horse in the Cup races.
And he cant jump.
Terrible favourite for the CH.
2/1 is just ridiculous.
Would worry about him at the 2nd or 3rd last at Cheltenham. Forget which. Very difficult at full tilt.

It certainly was, Kev.
