    How much extra weight could be added by soaking wet silks? Would it be worth the jockeys keeping dry?

    Got her head stuck under the front of the gate GG. They opened the gate but she just stayed there, couldn't get up (or wouldn't)

    Odds are she has a pelvic injury of some sort.

    She really will have the best of care - the Newmarket Equine Hospital is literally a 2 minute drive from the racecourse.

    That said that was very impressive. Perhaps we should have made more of the jockey booking though I'm not sure even Coolmore expected that. There was no significant money for her.

    How on earth can a horse that has run 13 times having been beaten 10 times win the 1000 guineas by 9 lengths?

    Condolences to the connections of GREY PEARL.

    It really was a freak accident, I can't recall a similar incident in recent years.

    Sad news...ironic considering connections are more prominent in the NH circuit and wouldn't have expected such a loss at HQ.
