Sad to hear that. Baywing was a first fence fatality in the Eider too. R.I.P both horses. Great to see Crosspark win the Eider to provide Mrs Caroline Bailey with her biggest winner to date. She does well with her horses...
Ecco was very disappointing for Paul Nicholls. He looked totally out of his depth regarding being a Triumph Hurdle possible. Fusil Raffles was most impressive but he picked up a bad cut and is highly unlikely to make it to the Festival now according to trainer Nicky Henderson. Compensation may await at Aintree.
Apparently it's more than unlikely. Hendo has stated he will miss the Triumph Hurdle. Does anyone know the extent of the cut?
