Again a tissue of misinformation. He broke his hind leg and was swiftly dispatched by the vet with a bullet between the eyes. Despite all their bullshit about the yard missing him, that affection only stretches as far as the bank machine. Money is the god of the horsey set and everything else falls into second place. Witness their shenanigans when they go out on a hunt. Prancing about like they own the fucking gaff. The only good thing about having a few crusty unemployed sorts around the place is that the horsey society are wary of them and tend not to tally ho too much when the smellie fuckers are around.

Monsignor. Not just a successful racehorse but an Olympic torch holder and tireless charity worker. RIP.

I’m fucked if I’m clicking a link to a horsey website mate, I dont want that shit on my internet history. It’s a simple yes or no question.

I’d say that would be mild enough compared to the rest of your internet history in fairness.

“Regretfully St Nicholas Abbey has lost his brave battle after suffering a colic this morning,” a statement explained this afternoon.

They should have given it some Fennel tea to see if that helped.
