Robert Whitaker's Horse in Aga Khan Cup .. what happened

[franki]

Does anyone know what happened to Robert Whitaker's horse in the Aga Khan on Friday. He jumped a near perfect round but the horse balked at something before the last fence and wouldn't go past a certain point in the arena, so he was eliminated. Horse came out and did the same thing in round 2, what happened?

See report in Super League Post. I saw it on Telly, horse seemed to nap towards the pocket, and would not turn right at all, he wasnt even that near the last fence when he threw a wobbly, Robert got him a bit further around the turn the next time, but the same thing happened. It was very strange.

I was there watching it at the RDS, the horse just did not like the line to the last fence, absolutely no idea what was the cause of it though.

he wasn't that near the pocket (as I was standing in it at the time). Not sure why he would not go near the last line of fences. Cian O'Connors horse did something similar in the GP.
