The Fuzzy Furry
Getting old disgracefully
Any update on Kings palace?
Missed ll of That What Happened to The Horses and Jockey's That fell?
Jaimie pulled up - sensibly as the horse gave him what looked to be an awesome spin for a circuit and a bit before tiring quickly after making a mistake.
All the horses are fine apart from Briar Hill who has a small fracture of the eyesocket.
Jockeys are a different story. Ruby fell when leading in the first, was trampled and will miss the rest of the season with a compound fracture of the humerus. Paul Townend was brought down in that fall, rode in the next race but then stood himself down as he discovered he'd sustained a shoulder injury in the first race fall. Daryl Jacob's stirrup leather snapped in the first race and he rode the last two hurdles without stirrups to finish fourth, he then won the second race and was cantering down to the start for the third when his horse spooked, crashed through the running rail and Daryl fell onto the tarmac.
It's turned into a very weird day, you couldn't make it up.
Daryl Jacob broken his elbow, knee and leg.
Davy Russell rides a treble, including two for Gigginstown after being sacked by them earlier in the season.
What a day.
You wouldn't believe it if it happened in a book.
On the bright side at least Ruby Walsh won't fall off in that hurdle race on National day now, I can't remember what the race is called but he's been seriously injured in it twice. Talk about hard as nails though, walking off the course with that kind of injury.
Is it just me or are Mullin's horses looking a tad porky today?!
