RIP Twist Magic

[Over2You]

I couldn't believe the horse didn't get a mention on the Morning Line this morning as they usually pay tribute to the demise of a well known horse and Twist Magic was certainly known. I can only assume that it was a propaganda move with the BBC awards tomorrow and AP being the morning guest. Perhaps it was thought not in the best interests of racing to be talking about a horse getting killed due to an injury on a track whilst trying to promote the sport of racing in promoting AP as the 'racing' candidate for the awards.
I can understand the logic to a degree if that was the case, but it does show a little contempt for the average racing racing supporter as I doubt the fact that a horse lost its life would make them less likely to vote for AP.

What? The death of such a great horse failed to get a mention because they were fretting over it affecting the outcome of an awards ceremony? Presumably, they would also not have mentioned the death of a jockey? Disgusting!

You are right. Most fans of racing wouldn't be put off by a horse losing his life. Horses die all the time in racing, so it is nothing new to them.

Rest in peace poor horse.
