The Pay Your Respects to Dead Racehorses Thread

Some ride by Sean Flanagan

I looked back at the RSA he ran in. Nothing really came out of it. What happened Adrianna Des Mottes?

At the right money he’d have to be chancey. Closing in on the 140 Mark now would see him close to eligible for the national at Aintree.

Act of Valour RIP

No :frowning:I missed the race what happened?

Fell 2 out when going well

Nicholls said: "Denman was known affectionately to punters and racegoers as ‘The Tank’, which I always felt was a fitting description.

"He was a magic horse who had a tremendous following because of the wholehearted way he went about his racing.

"He was tough, hardy and willing, wasn’t the easiest to train, and would bite your hand off in his box given half a chance.

“He came along at the right time and was one of our superstars during a golden era for Team Ditcheat.”

Sounds like he was a great judge of character too.

One of the greatest

Denman had a great bit of cut about him.

The second best jumper I ever saw around Cheltenham. Whatever about his Gold Cup win, his Hennessy wins carrying top weight around were just insane.

No mention of Harry Findlay in any of Nicholls comms about Denman. Bitter cunt.

Can I ask our equine lovers to spare a thought for the few dead cows in Tullamore this evening. RIP

The farmer paid a mooving tribute to his cows.

The Romford Pele lost his life at Uttoxeter yesterday. Just look at him here, he loved the game. Very sad news.

R.I.P. to The Green Monkey. Laminitis has claimed the life of the 14 year old.

He cost The Lads $16 million as a 2 year old, a record that still stands, and failed to win any of his 3 races earning just $10k in prize money. His stud career was a flop too.

I remember when he was sold.
The most expensive flop in equine history.
