Racehorse - Uncle Bryn

[Tess667]

I was watching Chennel 4 racing earlier and "Uncle Bryn" fell in a race. I don't think he got up and the presenter said they would update. I had to switch off before this so I just wondered if anybody heard/knew if he was okay?

Unfortunately it was a fatal fall

Hi Tess, I stayed watching just to see if he was ok... Sadly I've since read elsewhere it was fatal.
They showed a different camera angle, and he did try and get up, but fell again and semi rolled as soon as he tried - then went out of shot.
Horrible, poor horse. I don't know whether he was PTS, or died - it was a very nasty fall.
RIP Uncle Bryn, condolences to his connections

I saw that bit just before I had to switch off. Poor horse, thought are with his owners, trainer and of course the jocky

Thanks for the info
