It is with great, great sadness that I can say that our Cheltenham Festival winner, Brindisi Breeze died this morning in a freak accident whilst in the field on his holidays. We don't now what he did or why he did it but at about 2.30am he jumped out through 2 fields and got hit by a tanker on the road. He died instantly.

Brin was such a lovely horse to deal with, he wouldn't have hurt a fly. His win at Cheltenham was a first for all involved -owner, trainer, jockey and the staff that work here at Arlary. Brin had so much untapped potential and would have been a hugely exciting horse for next season whichever route he took.

Losing him will leave a huge hole in the yard. He was a freak. We really didn't know just how good he was as he didn't do a dot at home and on the track he never came off the bridle. Even at Cheltenham he still had more in the tank than the winning distance suggested.

R.I.P. Brin - you are a true Scottish legend.
 
I am so sorry to hear this news, there is no doubt he was a special horse with so much promise and I do not say this lightly. He could have been one of the all time greats and I for one was looking forward to seeing him later in the autumn.

Im so sorry EKW for you and all the connections of this brilliant young horse.
 
OMG, I am so very sorry for everybody concerned. I don't know, you'd done the right thing IMO anyway by not running him at Aintree so as to give this lovely talented young horse a good break after his wonderful win at Cheltenham and then this happens.Gutted for all at Alary.
 
I work at Arlary. I lead Brin up to win at Kelso and Newcastle. On Lucinda's website I go by the name of Eleanor Warren but everyone calls me El.
 
EKW my heart goes out to you all...literally just saw the news and thought of you straight away. I hope you all cherish the amazing day ye got in March and the prior days! He was a horse I was really looking forward to watching in the future. RIP Brin
 
El, heard this earlier today, absolutely gutted for you all at arlarly. What a horrible thing to happen. I wonder what the hang he was doing??
What a beautiful and talented horse, he looked amazing at cheltenham just a few weeks ago and I know you were all so proud of him.
so sorry for you and lucinda, campbell and all at the yard, you must all be gutted.
R.I.P. Brin. xxxx
 
Gutted to see this news on the RP website earlier. Looked to have a very bright future ahead of him. Condolences to you and all the other connections. x
 
So sorry to hear this. He had a terrific race at Cheltenham and could have gone on next season. Condolences to all connections.
 
So so sorry to hear this - I remember how excited you all were after his win at Cheltenham and what a great future he seemed to have.

How simply dreadful for you all. I watched him run at Cheltenham, and saw LR's interview. You must all be asking how this could have happened, and you must be heart broken.

For those who knock racing, may I recommend that you look at the Arlary website, take your time, read the thoughts and quotes of every one, and THEN look at the trouble which not just this yard, but others too, go to to re-home those that fail, and successfully too!!

El, I apologise for the shift in emphasis, and I am so sorry for your tragic loss.

Alec.
 
Reading through all the comments and condolances on here, RP, Lucinda's website etc. it has finally kicked in. He's gone. The wonderful superstar of a horse that placed Scottish Racing firmly back on the map has gone. He's not coming back. Never again will he prick his wee ears and laugh at the rest of the horses he was racing against. He truly was one in a million and he'll not be back.

xXx
 
EKW i'm so sorry for your loss, it must be truly devastating for you all his connections.

I backed him at Cheltenham, i am truly very saddened to hear this news.
 
my sincere and heart felt condolences to you all. He was a beauty and very talented. i cannot imagine what you are all going through, losing him this way. All my love xx
 
When I saw this on the RP website my blood froze. How dreadful for you all. I am so very sorry. My condolences to all of you at the yard, and his owners. I was so pleased when he won at Cheltenham, and for you to lose in him in such a freak, tragic way is truly awful. I feel for you all . RIP Brindisi Breeze x
