yes, it made me feel a little sad tbh, didn't realise a broken leg was so life threatening, then i read this: https://www.theguardian.com/sport/blog/ ... -leg-horse

poor beast ;(

I rewound to watch the reply and it looked horrific (not for the squeamish) so doubt we'll see any reply's unless someone posts a recording of it

Was bad for sure.

I am one of horse racing's biggest supporters but even I think jumps should be banned, just horrific to watch

It pretty much wasn't a jumping injury. Happens to flat horses as well.

Happened on landing the jump didn't it?

It seemed to be several lengths after the previous fence when it was pulled up and disrupted a few other runners, but the initial mis-footing or whatever it was likely came about from the previous landing

birthdale shot up from 7 to 8 in like 10 sec..

[Derek27]

Really want Commander Of Fleet to drift back.

[Derek27]

Everything's drifting bar the fav.

[jimibt]

expect a nice reversal on Birchdale then from 9-10's

[Euler]

Enjoying it so far today, from a trading perspective.

[cmuddle]

wow, just found out that sir erec injury was fatal
feel very sorry for the creature, love animals

[superfrank]

Very sad we lost Sir Erec, especially after the focus on him before the race, but it's part of the game.

He lived a wonderful life for an animal and in a way died a glorious death in battle.

[Dallas]

Feature traded really well, was getting decent fills even 20+mins out

[Dallas]

Far calmer and more (normal) markets this afternoon

[Euler]

Yeah, they have been perfect for being a bit more aggressive with staking. This happened last year as well. Not as wild markets as we saw earlier on, but the Friday really performed in a much calmer manner.

[Dallas]

Despite having lower expectations I found the penultimate market to be really dull
