2 horses die of suspected heart attacks at Bramham

Just to set the record straight - Best Mate died BEFORE the race started, on the way from the paddock to the start. Could have happend at any time.

It is very sad when ever a horse dies suddenly whether race, competition or in the stable or field at home. When you have livestock you also get dead stock, fact of life.

No he didn't. He pulled up and keeled over 3 from home.
 
EKW I take your point, and agree that racehorses are loved and cared for just like eventers are. However if Badminton had the same fatality rate as the GN then there would plenty of call to ban it on welfare grounds just like the National.
For the record I don't want the race banned either.
