A French Horse who was, as name suggests, a French horse, yesterday at Towcester after falling.

It was only his 8th start (he was 8 years old) and of the 8 he'd won one and had fallen once before.

Rest in peace.

He was not a racehorse, but Robert Dover's lovely competitor, FBW Kennedy passed in his sleep...

She had only won 4 of her 38 starts but had hit the board in another 13 races.

Dansimar was a 7 year old daughter of Daylami who was fatally injured at Sandown on the 5th.

Unless I'm reading it incorrectly this was her first ever G3 try.

Sadly, she was owned by Let's Live Racing.

It's always sad but I found that, well... I just wanted to mention it.

Jump in peace, good girl.

Battlefield.

Excerpt...

Poor guy.

Messara loses Battlefield

Tuesday, 8 February 2011:

Smart sprinter Battlefield has had to be euthanized after breaking a shoulder in an exhibition gallop yesterday at Scone.

The lightly raced five-year-old, prepared on the course by Paul Messara, was on the comeback trail and close to returning to the races.

Galloping in between races, he put a foot wrong on the corner and broke down.

Arakti. Just three years old. A winner of two races, and twice stakes-placed. Fractured off fore leg in the G1 International Stakes today.

For anyone who doesn't realize it, he was a son of Rakti who we lost in December.

Arakti was truly up and coming.

Better days...

Stunning and heartbreaking news.

Fenix Two and Marching Song died after being electricuted today at Newbury. Horrific. Other horses were burned in their mouths.

A brutal day.

Glencove Marina was 2nd in the G1 Hennessey Gold Cup at Leopardstown.

Results...

Glencove Marina collapsed after the line and lost his life. This was a truly black day for horseracing, and one which won't be quickly forgotten.

I guess today wasn't sad enough...

A second horse from the Hennessey Gold Cup is gone.

Rest in peace, Money Trix.

A hugely talented young horse, gone far too soon.

Nodforms Paula, 8 years old, at Fakenham on the 18th...

This was his 7th start.

He'd been off for 2 and a half years (?) and had just come back last November.

Rest in peace.
