    Only the horse died.

    The 3.05 at ascot. Thomas Chippendale won the race (cracking run) and dropped dead of a heart attack as soon as he crossed the line. Nearly backed him but changed my mind. Sad news :(

    ran the horse into the ground eh, still, nice trophy for the owners....................the price of racing, tragedy but quite rare thankfully.

    Looks like Sir Henry tapped him on the shoulder and led him off up to the stables in the sky.

    Yeah, freak accident unfortunately. Different from the brutality of the National fences. Ascot is flat and horses love it and naturally push themselves. Don't think the trophy is any consolation to the horse hand. He was sobbing his heart out.

    Not entirely sure "doing a muamba" should catch on.

    Poor bastard.

    The stable lads and horse hand's must be gutted Bri, went out on a high.

    His jockey is distraught too.

    Muamba survived................

    Oh yeah, does look bad. I only meant sport induced heart attack. Sorry, should have worded it better. I'm drawing no humor from this. Very sad.
