Fat Jockey Farewells (NH)

Buywises win at Sandown last season was worth all his mistimed placings at Cheltenham in one!! It’s a shame it took so long to get Leighton Aspell to ride him and hit the button on him on time.
 
Batwing unfortunately had to be put down after the Eider
 
It's Baywing Ryan .. Terrible news .
 
Ballyward lost his life. They didn't all make it home :(

Absolutely gutted about Ballyward :sorrow:
 
Sir Erec

Absolutely horrible, and so unfortunate in such a high profile race with so many watching.


Horrible
 
Invitation Only sadly didn't make it.

A rough week
 
That Sir Erec injury has me awful shook up, horrible horrible horrible. RIP to both today and to Ballyward the other day.

Just terribly sad, and I think how great he looked in the pre-race footage made it all the tougher.

Rough week for the Wylies.

Same, really shaken my enthusiasm for the game all truth told
 
Echo what's been said, I love this sport but this side of it leaves me cold, the incident with Sir Eric was horrendous, felt physically sick when it happened.
 
It was an Awful thing to see , R.I.P Sir Erec , Ballyward and Invitation only.
 
Horrendous day yesterday, R.I.P Sir Erec & Invitation Only :sorrow:

I know Sir Erec wasn't theirs but the Wylies could not have had a worse festival, losing 2 of their horses, 1 additional faller and a pulled up in the Gold Cup. Tough game at times, and feel for them massively.
 
"Absolutely devastated to report that We Have A Dream suffered a fatal injury this morning and broke his leg after working this morning. We are all completely gutted as he was the most likeable person and it’s hard to have favourites but if we did, he would be top of the list."

Such a shame
