Thomas Chippendale. Collapsed on the line after winning. Ran his heart out apparently, was working well. Wouldn't have felt anything says the owner who is devastated.
Nobody will be bothered [MENTION=54092]Mr C[/MENTION] as it isn't the Grand National. Always sad to see a horse die doing what it loves doing.
a horse loves doing what? being ridden to heart failure? i'd love to know how many horses die like this, outside race conditions and in their natural environment
Race horses are the best looked after animals in the world, they love running thats why they carry on when the jockey falls off,
that's right. dogs also kill foxes instantly and badgers are destroying all the cows. your powers are strong
Tis a shame but accidents happen. If horses had brains theyd probably be riding us leading to our deaths so just be glad a proportion of the population have developed enough. Theres plenty more to worry about in the world than a race horse passing on after being treated like a king its whole life christ.
The thing is this happens in all walks of life, I'm not a horse racing person but how many times do we read about 'healthy' people dropping dead whilst doing sport from unknown health issues? basically unfortunately **** happens!
Is this from the same book of theories as your 'Pakistani's only play cricket because they are bone idle' theory.
anyone who's ever worked with horses or owned one will tell you it wont run if it don't want to and a 8 stone bloke with a stick won't make it, they love it ears pr!cked tail wafting loving every minute of it, its what they do
