Some beautiful horses beautifully turned out in the 1.15 at Windsor looks lovely there as well by the river. Were looking a little tired at the end. Queensbury Boy is particularly gorgeous.

Really sad to see Jo Davis lost Betsy (Grey Aquila) at wincanton. Been following her on Facebook for a while

Yes indeed. Her post today showed what it meant to them.

Thank you Teapot for the Venetia Williams video, I’ve always liked her and liked Charlie’s way of riding, which it seems is Venetias way. Loved seeing the horses turned out together

I follow her too and was really sad. She really makes you realise just what they do with their horses to give them the best chance in their races. The flat schooling making them carry themselves properly.
When you follow someone you feel like you know the horses so well. Was so so sad.

So sad for the whole yard.
My sister is part of a couple of syndicates there and she comes across so well.

Enjoy Humblepie!
Old Park Star looking a really nice prospect, so neat and quick over his hurdles.

A lot more opportunities for an older horse over here than in Ireland!

Heavy fall from Neon Moon earlier on, they showed him walking away with the doctor but looking quite sore

Thank you. Hope Il Etait Temps is ok, he just sort of slithered?

Looked like a tired fall to me, hopefully just a tired horse.
So happy for Nicky and Jonbon!

I’m hoping he’s just winded himself as it all looked quite innocuous

IET looked more a tired slithery fall so maybe the wind knocked out of him?
Surprised the chestnut who fell earlier i think was ok, I didn't have the sound on but no omitted hurdles

I so hope you’re right but didn’t like how he folded
Gidleigh Park never looked fluid, fingers crossed that’s nothing much to worry about.

Phew good news for the grey horse! That would have been an awful outcome if he didn’t get up

He’s up! Just tired. Sorry, multiples.
Bryan Carver is very sensible, he must have felt something off I should think. Why risk it.

I think they were going too fast for him and his jumping was falling apart.

Yep id far rather see him pull up as a precaution if he wasn't right than keep going and something happen especially if hes had heart problems before

Complete silence when IET fell. Horrible moment. Jonbon was super though.
