Fat Jockey Farewells (Flat)

Just woke up to this horrendous news. Puts trivial things in life well and truly into perspective.

RIP Pat:sorrow:
 
Terrible news about Pat Smullen . I had the pleasure of being in the ring with him before some races when he was ridding for the then Supreme Racing Club . RIP Pat . Gone to early .
 
If anybody is going to listen to anything at all tonight, please listen to the interview from AP McCoy on at the races tonight. Absolutely heart wrenching
 
How people see things differently. AP was very upset and Sky must have known that, at least to some extent. It was clearly a very personal grief and I don't think it should have been broadcast.
 
Pinatubo retired to stud
 
Enable takes her very well earned retirement.

A day after Pinatubo, they'll be at it in no time :highly_amused:

Hopefully they have a long and enjoyable retirement :love-struck:

Anthony Van Dyck, the 2019 Derby winner, has been fatally injured after sustaining a fractured fetlock during the running of the Lexus Melbourne Cup.
 
Dalakhani has passed away at the Aga Khan's Gilltown Stud in Ireland. Was privileged to have visited the stud a week after Sea The Stars was sent there, have photos of both of them somewhere.

I still say now his juvenile win at the Breeders Cup was the most devastating performance I’ve ever seen on a (flat) racecourse, against the top 2yo’s that was seriously special.
